Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
with your example

use PowerQuery

[Table="width:, class:head"]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#5B9BD5]Column1[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#70AD47]Column1[/td][/tr]

[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#DDEBF7]< img src="https://www.nd-shop.de/out/pictus/generd/product/2/450_450_75/sposet_gr_14045_02.jpg" /><br>[/td][td][/td][td=bgcolor:#E2EFDA]sposet_gr_14045_02.jpg[/td][/tr]
[/table]


Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table13"]}[Content],
    #"Extracted Text Between Delimiters" = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Column1", each Text.BetweenDelimiters(_, "/", """", {1, RelativePosition.FromEnd}, 0), type text}})
in
    #"Extracted Text Between Delimiters"[/SIZE]

If the string always ends the same (i.e. with " /><br>) then you could use:

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-8),"/",REPT(" ",1000)),1000))
