• Extract numbers from the middle of a text string  
• Extract text after a specific character in Excel  But fortunately you have another option: Power Query aka Get and Transform. 

With this magic tool you can achieve this by just clicking a few buttons. And if this was not already enough there is another upside: Once you've setup the logic in Power Query, when new data comes in all you have to do is to click Refresh. And you're done!
