Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Assuming data in B2
Somewhere put =MID(B2,FIND("$",B2,1),FIND(" ",B2,FIND("$",B2,1))-FIND("$",B2,1))

Hi,

Based on your samples, use one of the following.

B1 formula results as Text (extracts the $ value exactly as shown).
C1 formula Converts results to Real numbers for further math/comparison, Format result cells as Currency.

Either formula copied down.
