I have a large data table which has a column containing char text. An example of the text description is listed below.
I need to do some descriptive statistics on the duration to open/close for the robot.
I would like to extract the numeric portion of the character string and put it in a new column with numeric data type.
Is there a formula function I could use to do that on a brand new column ?
