Please help:eek:


Thanks in advance

If your sample is correct representation of all data you have then:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",100)),100),"-",REPT(" ",100)),100))
should work.

should work.
A different, but similarly constructed, formula that also works...

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",300)),300),".",REPT(" ",300)),1,300))

Yeah. In fact if there are no leading zeroes then this will work as well
=RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".",REPT(" ",100)),100),"-",REPT(" ",100)),100)+0
