    To extract a desired digit/digits from the data in the cell

    I want to know how to extract a desired digit/digits from the data in the cell

    Example:

    Row1: A345BS1003
    Row2: A35BS1007
    Row3: BS1007A335
    Row4: 3500A354BS

    How can I set formula to extract the digits "BS" among the above 4 cells?

    Since this is random all over the place, perhaps you'd rather just test to see if "BS" is in the string anywhere? If so, show "BS", if not...show blank?

    If so, this would do that:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*bs*",A1)),"BS","")
