Extract portion of retrieved string in Google Sheets
"substitute(index(importhtml("https://site_name.com/quote.ashx?t="&E14,"table",10),8,2),"","")" returns a text value; "'0.72 (13.28%)'"
The return value can vary in length.
I need to extract either just the 0.72 or 13.28 so I can then convert to numeric format.
Solution
Extracting only 1 value out of 2 from indefinite length of string
Based on your question I assume that you only want to get 1 value every 2 values being returned by the importhtml function. I would suggest using this formula to extract it
=FILTER(SPLIT(A1, " "), ISERROR(SEARCH("-", SPLIT(A1, " "))))
It will return 1 row only, if you are looking to have it as 1 column instead please enclose it on a transpose function.
