Extract text

Mary Kam

I have text that needs to be extracted however I want to combine 2 of my formulas

This is the helper column =(LEFT(JOB@row + " ", FIND(" ", JOB@row + " ") - 1))

=IFERROR((MID([STUDY HELP]@row, (1 + FIND("-", [STUDY HELP]@row)), 1000)), "")

The text looks something like this:

text-74272998 9 months to grow flowers

I am trying to extract just the numbers that varies in quantity of characters

Also the text can sometimes be text-7879.sp.

In which case I would like the result to be 7879.sp

Thanks

Are you able to provide screenshots for context?

for 74272999.sp. I just want 74272999.sp I do not want a period at the end

Give this a try:

=SUBSTITUTE(original_formula, ".sp.", ".sp")

Mary Kam

It worked. But is there a way to combine the 2 formulas so I do not need a helper column.

Paul Newcome

Wherever you have a reference to the helper column, just drop the formula from the helper column in.

=[Column A]@row + 53

=formula_from_column_A + 53

It worked. Thanks for the quick response.
