Hi,

I have multiple rows where my cells look something like this: "+USD 17,286.24" or "-USD 40,918.66" . I just want to extract the number and I'm using this formula:
=RIGHT(F9,(FIND(" ",F9,1)-1))
which works on every other cell I have except where the format reads like my examples above.

Any ideas?

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Okay, try this formula then...

=REPLACE(F9,1,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(F9,CHAR(160)," ")),"")
