Hi Tony,

Since you can have + or - and a variable string from there till the first comma, try:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(H2,MID(H2,IF(ISE RROR(SEARCH("+",H2)),SEARCH("-",H2),SEARCH("+",H2)),SEARCH(",",H2)-IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("+",H2)),SEARCH("-",H2),SEARCH("+",H2))),""),"F",""),"S","")
(delete unwanted spaces inserted by the board software)
