I have the following data in cell A1.

4K (C4)

I need to extract both numerals.

By placing the following formula in another cell extracts the first 4.

=LEFT(A1,FIND("K",A1,1)-1)

What is the formula for removing (C) and placing the 2nd 4 in another cell?

TIA

If always that format

=MID(A1,FIND("C",A")+1,1)

This gives a #VALUE! prompt.

Excel corrects this to

=MID(A1,FIND("C","A")+1,1)

You use the word 'numeral' suggesting a single digit in each case.
But then you FIND K rather than using =LEFT(A1,1) to get the first 4.
So I assume we could have, for example, 15K (C56)
Try this
=LEFT(MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+2,2),FIND(")",A1)-FIND("(",A1)-2)
By the way if you want the results to be numeric precede each formula
with -- (a pair of unitary negations)
--=LEFT(MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+2,2),FIND(")",A1)-FIND("(",A1)-2)
best wishes

Clearly Bob meant to type =MID(A1,FIND("C",A1)+1,1)

If they're *always* single digits,

Extract the first 4 with:
=Left(A1)

And the second 4 with:
=Left(Right(A1,2))

This works fine.

Thank you so much to all for your learned advice.

Both work fine.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the feed-back.
