Yes, it is a comma delimited file which imports into onecell per row in
Excel. I can change it to be by doing "text to Data"

3010 123456789 4103 123.56 5101 123
3010 987654321 3011 abcde 4103 15000.00 5103 654
3010 654987321 4103 4523.69 5104 987

the result I am looking for would be

123456789 123.56
987654321 15000.00
654987321 4523.69

Try this in B1 and drag down.

=MID(A1,FIND(4103,A1,1)+5,(FIND(",",A1,FIND(4103,A 1,1)+5))-(FIND(4103,A1,1)+5))
