Hi,

This may be more complicated than necessary because it also find the cents
if they are included

=MID(A1,FIND("$",A1),FIND(" ",A1,FIND("$",A1))-FIND("$",A1))

If you just want to find the dollars as in your example use the simpler

=MID(A1,FIND("$",A1),3)

You can try this...

=VALUE(MID(A1, FIND("$", A1)+1, FIND(" ", A1, FIND("$", A1)) - FIND("$", A1)))
where your text is in cell A1

Note... The difference between my formula and Mike's is that min returns a
number and his returns text... You did not specify what you wanted so decide
accordingly.
