Function Extract_Number_from_Text(Phrase As String) As Double Dim X As Long, SubString As String For X = 1 To Len(Phrase) Extract_Number_from_Text = Val(Mid(Phrase, X)) If Extract_Number_from_Text Then Exit For Next End Function I don't do "non-US locale" programming, so I'm not sure how to deal with non-dot decimal pointed numbers, but perhaps the comma could be replace with a dot inside the Mid function call (although I'm not sure what the Val function will return if you do that). **IF** the user’s locale uses a **dot** for the decimal point, then here is a much shorter function to do this…

Function Extract_Number_from_Text(Phrase As String) As Double
Dim X As Long, SubString As String
For X = 1 To Len(Phrase)
Extract_Number_from_Text = Val(Mid(Phrase, X))
If Extract_Number_from_Text Then Exit For
Next
End Function

I don’t do “non-US locale” programming, so I’m not sure how to deal with non-dot decimal pointed numbers, but perhaps the comma could be replace with a dot inside the Mid function call (although I’m not sure what the Val function will return if you do that).
