You can use a formula to extract the number. The following formula assumes that your numbers are positive, and that there will be no more than three characters in the numeric expression. If there are more than three characters, then merely extend the array constant near the end (the one that presently looks like {1,2,3}.

This formula must be **array-entered**:

=MAX(IFERROR(--MID(J6,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},J6&"12345678 90")),{1,2,3}),""))

----------------------------------------

To **array-enter** a formula, after entering
the formula into the cell or formula bar, hold down
<ctrl<shift while hitting <enter. If you did this
correctly, Excel will place braces {...} around the formula.

It worked great, however I have numbers ranging up to 20. How do I change that?! Thanks for all your help!

I must not have understood something from your description.

Please show the exact types of entries that you are having a problem with, the result of using the formula, and your expected output.
