I have an embedded object which stretches from D2:D5

The embddded object appears as

Code:
=EMBED("Acrobat Document","")

The name of the PDF Documents that is embedded is

BR1 MT 9871425897009-confirmation.pdf


I would like to extract the numeric number from the file name. Is there an Excel Add in that will allow me to do this or VBA Code to be used in conjunction with a UDF that will allow me to do this ?

I need to extract the number from the embedded object, which is 9871425897009

It would be appreciated if someone could provide me with the Add-on if available or VBA function to extract the text

When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
I have attached a link below of sample data. I have manually extracted the text being the name of the file in WE to show what I need to etract

It would be appreciated if someone could kindly assist me in writing code or advising if there is an add in to do this
