    Need a formula to take $ value out of a text string and move to another column

    Hello. I need to extract a $ value out of a text string in A3 and move it to F2, so on and so forth, for the entire worksheet. I have included sample data in the attached file.

    Thank you!

    Hi, sorry for the bother. Someone showed me how to use a basic mid formula to do what I needed.

    try :-

    =SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A3,FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(A3,",","@",LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3,",",""))))-1),LEFT(A3,FIND(":",A3)+1),"")

    Hi squiggler47, thank you for that formula. It worked just as well as the MID formula that my other friend suggested. I appreciate your help and quick response!
