    extracting numbers from a string of text

    I have used this formula =--LEFT(V2,FIND(" ",V2)) to find the first number in the string but I need to find the second number, I have used this =MID(V2,12,3) but I cant get it to display as a number, I have tried --MID(V2,12,3) but I get a #value error. This is my string of text 37 families68 Children. I'm sure its quite simple really!!!

    but you would be better uploading a sample workbook with more examples (and expected results).
