Problem in extracting numbers from text

[Shweta]

Hi All,

My data is:

Shweta(31056)
Anju(31004)
Pooja(31057)
Rahul(31075)
Gurdeep(31019)
Ankit(31038)
Neeleder(31029)
Roshan(31040)

I want Numbers only in next column like:


31056
31004
31057
31075
31019
31038
31029
31040

I am using the formula:

=MID(F14,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},F14&"0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9")),LEN(F14))

But output is coming like this:


31056)
31004)
31057)
31075)
31019)
31038)
31029)
31040)

I need to remove last bracket as well.

Can someone please tell me what changes I need to do in my formula.

Thanks,
Shweta

Thanks All!

Rick's Formula is working fine.

To answer T.Valko's question yes, it's always of 5 digits.

Hi Biff,

Please help me understand the role of double unaries in the above case.

Hi Biff,

Please help me understand the role of double unaries in the above case.

The MID function returns a TEXT value. Even if it looks like a number it's not, it's TEXT.

A2 = Shweta(31056)

=MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,5) returns the TEXT string "31056"

We use the double unary to coerce the TEXT number to a numeric number:

=--MID(A2,FIND("(",A2)+1,5) returns the NUMERIC number 31056

Thank you for the explanation and the links.

You're welcome!

If the bracketed number is not (or possibly not) at the right of the original text as assumed by my previous formula, then this variation ..
=-MID(F14,FIND("(",F14),7)
