I have the following output in a csv file that I'd like to extract the number of bottles from.
2022 Sparkling Tempranillo Rosé - 1 Bottle
2022 Limited Edition Sparkling Vermentino Case - 3 Bottles
2022 Sparkling Tempranillo Rosé Case - 6 Bottles
2022 Limited Edition Sparkling Vermentino Case - 12 Bottles

I have used =MID(A2,FIND(" Bottle",A2)-2,2) to get part way there, but I'm left with a leading space in the single digit results and what looks to be text instead of a numeral when I get "12" for the last example.

I've simply run out of brain power to get any further. Can anyone help?
 
Just adding a substitute and increasing the number of characters in Peter's post 8 formula will get you to 9999.
Excel Formula:
=--SUBSTITUTE(MID(A2,FIND(" Bottle",A2)-4,4),"-","")

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Not pretty, but...
Excel Formula:
=MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," Bottles"," Bottle")," Bottle",""),FIND(" - ",A1)+3, 9999)
