=IF(LEN(A2)>3,CONCATENATE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(RIGHT(A2,5),4),"(","")),"0")

Now when I apply =IF(AND(B1>=C1,B1<=D1),"yes","no") I get no for all results but if I remove the formulas ( copy and paste special values only) I get yes and no where applicable. JFC what do I need to do so I don't have to remove the formulas from the min and max dist columns?

Twodogs

You seem to be getting there

My guess is the results you are getting are text. They need to be numbers.

So replace the CONCATENATE (which you no longer actually need) with VALUE and the rightmost "0" with 0 and then you should have numbers

Okay no problems on the max distance doing what you suggested but on the min distance it tells me there are too many arguments. Not sure what to eliminate.

I have attached my progress

=IF(LEN(A2)>3,VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A2,1+FIND("(",A2),4),")","")),0)

Thanks JFC

That does it!!! How come it changes from Arial to Verdana font once I insert your formula?? Just interested if there is a reason.

Twodogs

Good.

Dunno about your fonts.

Maybe your format has Arial for Text and Verdana for Numbers.

But that's just a guess.
