Hello,
I'm interested in finding a function that will help me extract a specific text that sits just before a specific character. However, the challenge is that my text strings are of various sizes and it would require identifying the last "#" and extracting the value that sits just before that character.
As an example:

From the example above, I will need to extract the values that are in green.
Any ideas how to tackle this one?
Thanks in advance!
You have not provided expected results, but try this:
=TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(C4:C9,"#",-1),"#",-1)
Or, if you want numbers and not text:
=--TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(C4:C9,"#",-1),"#",-1)

That's incredible, the first formula works just fine for me. Thanks a lot!
I added a workbook with a spill version - look at that. The second would be the better option if you want to use those results in calculations.
Glad to have helped.
