    extracting negative numbers

    hi! I want to ask help from you guys,


    I used this code to extract the value on the text: "11/09/09 backyard $400"

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("back",A4)),RIGHT(A4,LEN(A4)-FIND("$",A4))+0,"")


    and return "400" but i've encountered a value which is negative (could be
    -$400, or ($400); and i got an error of #value, could anyone resolve this problem?



    Thanks!
