Obtain numeric from alphanumeric string

[Manj]

What is the easy method of obtain numeric from alphanumeric string in an
excel column:-

ab 0.25 I want 0.25
jds 0.125 I want 0.125

With
A1: (text ending with a numeric value)

This formula returns the number at the end of the string:
B1: =MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),99)*1

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

For the 2 examples you gave this would work:-

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,LEN(A1))

an afterthought

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,LEN(A1))*1
