Extract character from product description

[ARGB]

Hello,

Need help on extracting character from uneven item descriptions. I want to extract SQFT from following lines.

SPC-520 *** JASPER 4.3MMX152MM - 1MM PAD EVA 23.95SQFT/PI (55) - extract 23.95
SPC-406 DENVER OAK 4.2MM 12UN/CS (50) 28.38 SQFT/PI2 extract 28.38

Thank you advance for helping me out.

Assuming the first string is in A2, and also assuming there are 5 characters including the decimal point (2 examples are not sufficient to confirm this), you could use this in B2:

=MID(A2,SEARCH("SQFT",A2)-6,6)*1

then copy down as required.

Hope this helps.
