Extracting information to automatically find previous value.
I have the following information $442,400 $+16,900 ($+1,200) contained in one
cell & would like to be able to subtract the 2nd figure $+16,900, from the first figure $442,400 using a text formula in another cell. I have tried a few formulas, but the problem is that the numbers involved can be in the hundreds of dollars anywhere up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

$442,400 $+16,900 ($+1,200) contained in one cell
Assuming the 2nd set of digits is *always* preceded by a space then 2 characters and followed by a space: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)-MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+3,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)-(FIND(" ",A1)+3)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Rocko" wrote in message ...
