Hello, how can I extract the 6" and the 8" from these strings?

I meant for you to do the formula from the other table, but if you’re doing it from this table, then you need to add &""
after each reference to the field.
Add it IMMEDIATELY AFTER the closing curly bracket for BOTH of your field references.

An once again, there are many different ways of doing things. We were all looking a extracting the number from different strings …
Also, this new screen shot shows more information and an inconsistent data format for the 12
option–it doesn’t have the inches specifier, probably doesn’t have a space, and doesn’t list number of portions. If there is no space, it will mess up the formula that looks for a space.
I still prefer a schema change to get the size in a field by itself, with a formula field to state the portions.

Yeah, people usually use lookups instead of rollups. But that doesn’t mean that lookups are better than rollups. With a rollup, I always know what data type I’m getting at the end (number, string, or array). With a lookup it is hard to be sure. This screen shot is one example why I dislike lookups.
