Hello! I'm trying to extract dollar amounts from a cell that contains additional data and the dollar amounts can vary in position. The dollar amounts are all formatted with a $ but are not all the same length after. For example, if you look at the below screenshot, you'll see column R is labeled 'Notes / Ship Rates / Tracking' and column S is where I'm trying to extract the 'Ship Rates' to.

I found a similar situation through a different post which provided the formula you can see being used in the screenshot:

=MID(R2,FIND("$",R2),FIND(" ",R2&" ",FIND("$",R2))-FIND("$",R2))

As you can see, in Column S the formula is extracting the shipping rate, but it's also pulling over the first word (Tracking) in the next line down. I've tried adjusting the formula but can't seem to figure out how to get it to pull only the Shipping rate without any additional information. Any thoughts or suggestions?

If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).

Is this for Excel or Google Sheets?

Without seeing your actual file, this is only a guess. I am guessing that there is no space after the price just a line feed. Therefore the next space is after "Tracking."

Hello, this is for Google sheets. I believe the formula that Sufiyan97 shared is going to do the trick for me though. I need to leave the office for the day so I will have to investigate this further tomorrow and then follow up.

What was the clue that made you ask if this was a Google Sheets issue? I didn't see anything.

@Fluff. We should change your moniker to "Eagle Eye" :) I had to look at it several times after you posted to note the difference.
