    Mid formula: Extract numbers to the left of the word "clicks" within a cell.

    Hi there...

    I am looking for some helping extracting the number of clicks to the left of the word "clicks" within the cell.

    In addition, I was hoping to extract the characters to the right of the # sign.

    Third, I was hoping to delete the word clicks and the numbers to the left of the word "clicks" in the post title column. At the leExcel Doc.xlsxExcel Doc.xlsxast, if I could get help accomplishing the first item above, that would be a huge help. Thanks!

    Not exactly sure what you mean here??

    Several # signs in many of the data, which # sign..the first 1, the last 1, the first 1after the word "clicks"...?

    A couple examples of what you would like to see would be most helpful

    =IFERROR(MID(A2,FIND("clicks",A2)+LEN("clicks "),LEN(A2)),"")
