Most of my data comes like this in 1 cell (Test to columns does not work in this case):

2037020 Pint Milk 32 4

I need to extract that number 32

the Pint Milk could be any of my inventory items

How can I accomplish this. I do not need this hard coded for just Pint Milk, but for any of my items:

2037020 Pint Milk 32 4
2037021 Yup 5 0
2037022 Simply Juice 47 6
2037024 20oz Reg
2037025 Gold Tea 35 4
2037030 Minute Maid 66 8
2037031 HH Coke 12 1


I need the first number(s) after the inventory item. In the case of the Pint Milk it would be 32. Not the 4.

Please assume the data starts in C2 and I need the result in C3

Please help.

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try this formula:
Code: 
=TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C2," ",REPT(" ",100)),110),100))

Works like a charm. Since you answered that so well, how can I extract the item name from this as well? If the data is in C2, can I get the product name in D2 and the quantity in E2?

The only problem with this is that it is hard coded. I have hundreds of inventory items

Maybe something like this:
Code: 
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(C2,9,LEN(C2))," ",REPT(" ",100)),LEN(SUBSTITUTE(MID(C2,9,LEN(C2))," ",REPT(" ",100)))-200))

Did Joe4's formula give you the answer you wanted for this item...

2037024 20oz Reg

If not, what should the answer have been? Also, for your additional question, what is the item name for the above item?

It is work for me
Code: 
Public Sub ExtractNum()  Dim LRw As Long, Rng As Range
  LRw = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  Dim T As Long, C As String, N As Long
  For Each Rng In Range("A1:A" & LRw)
  TXT = Rng.Text
  N = 0
    For T = 1 To Len(TXT)
    C = Mid(TXT, T, 1)
        If IsNumeric(C) = True And T > 1 Then
            If Mid(TXT, T - 1, 1) = " " And N = 0 Or (IsNumeric(Mid(TXT, T - 1, 1)) = True And N <> 0) Then
                N = N & C
            End If
        End If
    Next
  Rng.Offset(0, 2) = N
  Next
End Sub

Or Function
=ExtrNum(A1)

Code: 
Public Function ExtrNum(Rng As Range)  Dim TXT As String, T As Long, C As String, N As Long
  TXT = Rng.Text
  N = 0
    For T = 1 To Len(TXT)
    C = Mid(TXT, T, 1)
        If IsNumeric(C) = True And T > 1 Then
            If Mid(TXT, T - 1, 1) = " " And N = 0 Or (IsNumeric(Mid(TXT, T - 1, 1)) = True And N <> 0) Then
                N = N & C
            End If
        End If
    Next
  ExtrNum = N
End Function
