Default Convert Text to Number

Now, what if there is more than one "/".

Example: ABC1/2x5 1/2
Return 1/2 as .5000


Assume you're referring to the 2nd instance of "1/2"
located after the space in the string

If A1 contains: ABC1/2x5 1/2

Try in B1:

=MID(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)+1,
SEARCH("/",A1,SEARCH(" ",A1))-SEARCH(" ",A1)-1)
/ MID(A1,SEARCH("/",A1,SEARCH(" ",A1))+1,99)
