Hi All.
Is it possible to extract the data from a string like these examples below, the data to be extracted is always after a number ie, 1 to 9 and always before the $ sign

11-Mar-23 2100m GOOD 4 R8 LR BUNBURY CUP $2, so in this example the data extracted would be LR BUNBURY CUP

29-Jul-23 1600m HEAVY 9 R7 RTG 66+ $43, this one would be RTG 66+

14-Jun-23 1650m SOFT 6 R1 2YO & 3YO 0MWLY $943 (of $32, this one would be 2YO & 3YO 0MWLY

Solution
Where B5 = 11-Mar-23 2100m GOOD 4 R8 LR BUNBURY CUP $2

MID(B5,FIND("R",B5,20)+3,(LEN(MID(B5,FIND("R",B5,20)+3,FIND("$",B5,15)))-(LEN(B5)-FIND("$",B5,15))-1))

Actually, based on your sample data, this even shorter one may be sufficient?
