Hello,

I am looking for a way to extract a number from a string or text, symbols and numbers. For example I have the following in A1

{Low:”100″,medium:”300″,high:”5000″}

I would like to take the low number in A2, the medium number in A3 and the high number in A4.

I have tried a series of mid(Len) formulas but as it counts the number of characters, if my number is a varying number of digits it will only take the first numbers.

I am looking for something similar to text to columns as the symbols will stay the same but as a formula.

I would really appreciate any help!

Hello,

Thank you for the response. I am looking for a solution that does not involve a macro.
Do you have any other recommendations?
