Can this formula be simplified to a shorter version?

I am using below formula to get Grand Total Amount (Upto 20 digit) from large Text string

I don't have any problem with it but just want shorter version if possible

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
A bit shorter
Excel Formula:
=LEFT(REPLACE(B2,1,SEARCH("nGrand Total: ",B2)+13,""),SEARCH("\",REPLACE(B2,1,SEARCH("nGrand Total: ",B2)+13,"")&"\")-1)

Hi,

Another way,

Use this formula, result as Text (just like you have it now):

Excel Formula:
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(B2,FIND("\nGrand Total:",B2)+14,99),"\",REPT(" ",99)),99))

Use this formula, result as Real Number (better for future calculations), Format cells as Currency:

Excel Formula:
=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(B2,FIND("\nGrand Total:",B2)+14,99),"\",REPT(" ",99)),99)+0

@Fluff, when I tried to copy my table as OP had it with XL2BB, I got an error "6-Overflow", thus unable to post table...., do you know what the problem might be?

You're welcome, glad to help.

@Fluff, after a bit of investigating/testing, I've found the culprit for the XL2BB "6-Overflow" error,
Since I have my E column formula to convert the result to Real number, but E2 number result is $33,333,333,333,333,300,000.00
which is more than 15 numerical digits in length (Excel dislikes this, and won't do math above 15 digits), and seems XL2BB doesn't like it neither.
So if I Skip that line, it'll post with XL2BB, should I bring this up to whoever maintains XL2BB for a possible fix?

Here I'm adding Table for my post #3:
