Default Extract numbers from a string of text

Marcella,

Use the 'text to columns' function under in the data ribbon (2007) or the
Data drop-down menu (2003). Use the 'fixed-width' selection and position the
column breaks on either side of the number you want to pull out. If that
doesn't work, use the 'delimited' option, using the colon as as the
delimiter. That will get you close. Then, find the one column with the
number you want and delimit it again with the 'space' as the delimiter. That
will get you the number you want. I am sure there is a formula you could use
but that is beyond my skill set.

HTH.
