Hi Team,

Please help me to split the number seperately from this text "Project ABC12Limited (9874) - Test ok"

I have this text in A1, i want 9874 only in A2, i used mid function but if

MID(A2,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2&"0123456789")),4) but i am unable to get the exact output,

Please help me on the same

Thanks!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
One example isn't much to go on.
If the number is always in parentheses & there is only one set of parentheses in the text, then try

=REPLACE(LEFT(A1,FIND(")",A1)-1),1,FIND("(",A1),"")+0

Otherwise, post more varied examples and the expected results along with any more explanation that you can give.

Hi, will the number ALWAYS be enclosed in brackets, AND be the ONLY part of the string in brackets ?

If you answer YES to both parts, then try this

=MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1)

And if you want this to be treated as a number, not a text string, try this

=MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1)+0

Hi Gerald,

Many thanks it's working but few text content with in the bracket insted of only number
Hence i add some more funcition on formual now it's working fine "RIGHT(MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1),(LEN(MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1))-MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,FIND(")",A2)-FIND("(",A2)-1)&"01234567890")))+1)"

Sample text
"Project ABC12Limited (9874) - Test ok"
"Project ABC12Limited (Code : 9874) - Test ok"

working fine for both, Many thanks again

Sample text
"Project ABC12Limited (9874) - Test ok"
"Project ABC12Limited (Code : 9874) - Test ok"
Here is a much shorter one that still works for those two example formats.
