I have multiple cells within a column that contain text and numbers. I need
to split out the numbers. I don't think Data Text to Columns will work
because the numbers do not line up. Below is an example. Can anyone save me
from having to manually enter these numbers??

If the dash in front of your numbers will be the only dash in the text, you
can use still use Data/Text To Columns. Choose delimited, uncheck any
checked delimiters and put a dash in the field next to the checkbox labeled
"Other", then click Finish.
