    Formula Challenge: Need a formula to pull a string of numbers after a specific character

    Hi All,

    First post!

    I have a challenge to try and pull a string of numbers from a string of text that appears after a certain character.

    Hopefully some smart guys out there can help.

    Challenge:

    The picture below shows the ideal outcome in Column A (Campaign ID)

    SalesInvoices_Primal_Thailand_2020-Dec-21_05_19_39.png

    The formula in Column A would search the Column D find the "#" then pull the 5 numbers after it into Column A regardless of position in the string found in Column D.

    If someone can help to provide two solutions (1) formula that pulls the 5 numbers and includes the "#" and (2) formula that pulls the 5 numbers that is without the "#"

    Much appreciated!

    Attached the working file.

    Any chance of posting an xlsx file instead of xls?
