I had a simple formula that worked to extract numbers (5 characters) from the string. The values were placed in columns AW:BA.

If there were only 4 values to be extracted then AW:AZ were the destination cells.

This formula does not work, however, with older data (AV10:AV15).

Can someone please work out a formula that can be copied and pasted that:

1) extracts data so that the following is the desired result

2) Extract 4,5 or 6 values depending on the original string in the cell.
3) make the cells with no data blank

The formula I would be looking for would need to be copied and pasted down several thousands of rows, of which are a mixture of 4,5 and 6 values that need to be extracted.

Thanking you in advance for your help.
