Default Obtain numeric from alphanumeric string

With
A1: (text ending with a numeric value)

This formula returns the number at the end of the string:
B1: =MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"01234 56789")),99)*1

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

For the 2 examples you gave this would work:-

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,LEN(A1))
