I need to extract specific numbers from a text string that varies.

For example: I need to extract the second weight from each text i.e 9.
' GW/NW: 10/9 kgs'

Can anyone help please?

Then this would do that
=MID(A1,FIND("/",A1,FIND("/",A1,1)+1)+1,(FIND("
kgs",A1,1)-FIND("/",A1,FIND("/",A1,1)+1)))

Watch the word wrap, mind there is a space before the kgs
