Hello all
I need to extract the number like in the example below.
Between the () is always (#ch).

Before: 16-bit Enhanced (46ch)
After: 46

Thank you!
 
Other options:

If the data (#ch) is at the end of the text, it can be with this:


=IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(A1,1,FIND("(",A1),""),"ch)","")+0,"")


Otherwise with this:

=IFERROR(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(REPLACE(A1,1,FIND("(",A1),""),"ch)",REPT(" ",250)),99)+0,"")

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
So many great options.
Thank you all!

You're welcome, thanks for the feedback.

Just realized the LEFT function isn't needed in my formula from Post # 5, can be just:

116-bit Enhanced (46ch)46
232-bit (144ch)144
364-bit (299 not specified)299
