Ken,
I tested this in your sample and it appears to work BUT I cannot guarantee it is "foolproof"! =VALUE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A 1,"("," "),"x"," "),")",""),FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"("," "),"x"," ")),255))) HTH "Ken" wrote: I need to search for then extract a specific portion of cell data.

What do you mean by foolproof?
It is foolproof for the limited set of 6 records you give as an example. Have you any other formats that are not covered by the rules covered. i.e include characters between "(" and ")" unless the character is "x" or " " (space) or if null result include all characters following the last space Regards On Fri, 1 Sep 2006 11:27:02 -0700, Toppers wrote: Ken, I tested this in your sample and it appears to work BUT I cannot guarantee it is "foolproof"! =VALUE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE( A1,"("," "),"x"," "),")",""),FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"("," "),"x"," ")),255))) HTH "Ken" wrote: I need to search for then extract a specific portion of cell data.

Richard,
I think your on to something here. Toppers response worked great except, as you pointed out, it only captures the numbers in (##) or ( ## ). It does not capture numbers in (x##) or ( x## ) or (X##), etc... Ultimately, I need to capture all scenarios. If the part number does not have a quantity at the end (usually indicated by the "x/X" or "(" ), then the result should be the number "1", indicating a single part number. EXAMPLE: Cell "A" 700001103 (x4) (part number) 700001103 (quantity of) (x4) < (i need just the number indicating the quantity, regardless of what it is/is not wrapped in) 4 Is this possible to do? Thanks again, to you and Toppers //Ken "Richard Buttrey" wrote in message ... What do you mean by foolproof? It is foolproof for the limited set of 6 records you give as an example.

Toppers -
I didn't mean to imply your formula didn't work, just that it didn't work correctly for me, in my spreadsheet. Below, I have list the results from your 1st and 2nd formulas, running it on the same list both times. As you can see, in my spreadsheet, the results aren't what I expected. It seems where not capturing all the numbers. Any thoughts? Column "A" (raw data) 1st Formula Results 2nd Formula Results 8675-US (59) 59 1 (should be 59) 8675-EU x 5 #VALUE! 5 6330-02(18) 18 1 (should be 18) 6330-02CE (x10 ) #VALUE! 1 (should be 10) 6305-02 (1) 1 1 58516 (x117) #VALUE! 1 (should be 117) 6312-05(X30) #VALUE! 1 (should be 30) 604-800006-002 #VALUE! 1 5054-SUA-US #VALUE! 1 6312-05(X20 ) #VALUE! 1 (should be 20) 6420-05(30) 30 1 (should be 30) 6420-05 ( 9 ) 9 1 (should be 9) I really appreciate your help!

Hi, This seems to work for your set of 6 records. Obviously it will nned modifying if there are any formats that don't meet the rule I explained in the last post. Watch the word wrap, this is all one formula. =IF(ISERROR(FIND("(",A1)),RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("x",A1)-1),SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,FIND(")",A1)-FIND("(",A1)-1),"x","")) Rgds On Fri, 01 Sep 2006 20:06:14 GMT, "Ken" wrote: Richard, I think your on to something here.

Richard -
Thanks for your help. The formula you provided doesn't seem to work for me. Although it captures the number, it is also capturing the "x/X". Also, where there is no number to capture, it's providing a "#VALUE!" instead of a "1". Thanks again, //Ken "Richard Buttrey" wrote in message ... Hi, This seems to work for your set of 6 records.
