    Extracting Product Number from Text

    Good morning,

    Is there a way to extract the following product number from the description text and place it in a blank column?:

    Product Description 741
    or
    12" Demi Parisian-65

    I just need to extract with a Formula, the numbers at the end to a blank column.

    Thanks a bunch.

    Thaneem, to the best of my knowledge, no such function exists in 2007 and earlier? Is that perhaps a UDF you created?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Hello,

    Is there a way to extract the following product number from the description text and place it in a blank column?:

    Product Description 741
    or
    12" Demi Parisian-65

    Description and Product Number are sharing the same cell and I need to separate them. I need the Product No. ie 741 and 65 to go in their own column to the right. Currently, the Product Description and Product No that are combined are in Column B and I need to extract the Product Number and place them in the next column, which is Column C.

    I just need to extract with a Formula, the numbers at the end to a blank column. Maybe nesting a few functions???

    Thanks a bunch.
