In your latest samples where, there are No data indicating how Many is in a Box, and your post says "should be", then nothing?
My updated formula will leave the cells Blank in those cases.

These data/text string extraction formulas are NOT universal, you are spitting out different types of data strings with every post, what you should do is post all the various data strings you have, and MAY BE a single formula can handle all of them - thou May Not.

This formula will work for your latest sample set, but will not work for the others you posted previously:

Is there any option to make this universal?

Since I see many cells with different formats?

This is a big table with many lines on it

Any idea?

In Green, YES, see Red above.
In Orange, DONT KNOW, see Red above.

Make a post of all the different types/formats of Text strings in your data, we'll see what we can do.

shlomek12,

As stated in my post above, you Really need to post a list of samples containing all the possible formats of your data, Again, these formulas are Not universal.

For your latest request posted at a different thread here: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...g-multiple-individual-functions-into-one.html
