Could anyone tell me how to make a formula that will pull out my inventory number from a string? The inventory numbers can be anywhere from 3 characters to 8. Please note that only in this example are the preceding "G" is present. Sometimes the inventory number is at the end of the string. TIA!

G BM1240 Bookmark $9.00
G MB16 Men's Bracelet $23
G CC1225 Car Charm $12
G FRB1323 Full Rosary Bracelet $35
G E1330 Earrings $8
G B2174 Bracelet $13
G AR9 Anglican Rosary $17
G SC2030 Stethoscope Charm $10
G R1452 Rosary $31
G ODR1428 One Decade Rosary $11
G CC1248 Car Charm $13.00
G PR1444 Pocket Rosary $11
G RB1545 Rosary Bracelet $14
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Something like this?
=IF(FIND(" ",A1)=2,MID(A1,3,FIND(" ",A1,3)-2),MID(A1,1,FIND(" ",A1,3)-1))
Please post other examples of the the inventory number if needed

Thank you. That works with that instance, but is there a universal formula that I could use with that example as well as this example? Is this an impossible or unreasonable request?

The below formula works for two possible Inventory number placements:
1. Inventory number is placed after the price with "$" symbol
2. Inventory number starts from the 3nd character

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(" ",A1,FIND("$",A1))),MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND("$",A1))+1,99),MID(A1,3,FIND(" ",A1,3)-2))

When I use that, I only get letters, like "is", "d". Can I attach a copy of what I'm working with via spreadsheet? I don't see where to do that, but I did add a few cells for example. TIA!
