🔹 Method 1: Flash Fill (Basic Approach)
Use Excel's built-in Flash Fill to extract numbers. Type the first number manually and press Ctrl + E to fill the rest. This method works well with simple patterns but may struggle with complex text.

🔹 Method 2: GETNUMBERS VBA Function (Advanced Approach)
When Flash Fill isn't enough, use the GETNUMBERS VBA function for precise results. This function works by specifying the desired number position:

Extract the first number → =GETNUMBERS(A1, "F")

Extract the nth number (e.g., 3rd) → =GETNUMBERS(A1, 3)

Extract the last number → =GETNUMBERS(A1, "L")

Extract all numbers → =GETNUMBERS(A1)
This VBA function is essential for advanced Excel users and data analysts dealing with mixed data formats.

✅ Why Use GETNUMBERS?

Works with complex text strings
Extracts numbers reliably from messy data
Automates repetitive tasks, boosting productivity
