    Separate numbers from Alphanumeric string

    What is the formula to start trimming from start of number?

    Given:

    *The numbers vary in length
    *The numbers are all in the right side

    Example
    Product ABCD 13.5 oz
    Product E .5 oz
    Product FG 3 oz

    I want to generate

    13.5 oz
    .5 oz
    3 oz

    Alternatively, extracting just the numbers could also work so instead of ".5 oz", I'd only have ".5"

    Thanks!

    Select the data range.
    Go to data tab on ribbon. Select text to column then select Delimited press Next.
    Select the appropriate Delimiter(s) for your data. If text and numeric data is seprated by space then select space and click on finish button

    =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",20)),30))

    Close but not quite as it also trimmed some of the text. Thanks though!
