I have nested some Numbers into [ ], into a description column.
What i would like to do is extract the numbers between these [ ]' s example; [33462] 3/4" EMT ON STL 3 #12 I can not use the MID function as I also have some descriptions that look like the following; [ ] 3/4" CONDUIT - EMT with no data in the [ ]'s, which i would like to produce a null value.
