    hi Prakesh. to help you, we need to identify patterns. 1 example does not help much. so my assumption here is the invoice number is always a space after that text & is a standard 8 numbers:
    =MID(A2,FIND("Invoice No. ",A2)+12,8)

    or in between "Invoice No." & " dt. ":
    =MID(A2,FIND("Invoice No. ",A2)+12,FIND(" dt. ",A2)-FIND("Invoice No. ",A2))

    if you need the text "Invoice No.", then:
    =MID(A2,FIND("Invoice No. ",A2),20)

    or:
    =MID(A2,FIND("Invoice No. ",A2),FIND(" dt. ",A2)-FIND("Invoice No. ",A2))

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.
