I have a data as shown in below sample. I want to extract the landline/mobile numbers and the company name. How do I do it?
Note: Possible Pattern that I can observe is 10 to 11 digit contiguous numbers (sometimes with spaces in between). Regards to the company names: they are always on the first lines. Generally there is a two to three line gap after each new company as shown below.

Numbers highlighted in Red and Company names in Green for clear explanation.

Below is the data :

Below is the same data from Post # 1 when copied in an excel sheet.
Pattern: 1st line= company name, then company details with one blank row alternatively as shown below.
Please let me know if anymore clarifications required.

Data in Green is the company names and in Red Phone numbers.

It does work on the sample as intended.

However, I just noticed that the data I copied earlier shows blanks as stated earlier. Maybe, because I copied it to Msword, Notepad, etc and was trying different method to work it on my own.

And now when I copied the data from the original source, it shows like shown below. Could you please made the change in the formula for Company name to work for this dataset?

Note: Only change is there aren't two blank rows but just one blank row before each company name. And no blank rows after every row in between as stated in my original post.

Really sorry for this misfortune.

Hi,

See if this works for you.
Leave First Row Blank (e.g. A1 row)
Formula in B2 copied down, then filter blank rows:
