Default Extracting the latest info from 1st sheet and placing into a 2nd s

I will like to extract the latest information from a given column in a sheet
(sheet1) and place it in another sheet (sheet 2) in B1. Here is my example of
data located in Sheet 1. I'm looking to extract specifically the latest build
number and place it in sheet 2, B1.

Assuming the Error Message is in C2:C10, try the following array formula (commit
with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):

=MAX(IF(ISERROR(FIND("build",C2:C10)),0,
--RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C2:C10," ",REPT(" ",10)),10)))
