通过 excel 公式或 VBA 从单元格中的字符串中查找最高数

Question

How to find the highest number from below string(Below string is in one cell only) in excel through formula or VBA?

1. sanjay r
2.kaustubh r
3.abc def
4. pqr dj
5.ss dd
6.sdd yy
7.ii lll
8.www eee
9.ddd dd
10.dlieis lsie

so with the above example, I should get the Answer as 10.

I have written below formula to get last "." in string as last number will always be highest number and all numbers has "." after it

=FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(B37,".","@",(LEN(B37)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B37,".","")))/LEN(".")))

and then i have written another formula to get number attached to last "."

=IF(ISNUMBER(NUMBERVALUE(LEFT(RIGHT(B37,LEN(B37)-C37+3),1)))=FALSE,LEFT(RIGHT(B37,LEN(B37)-C37+2),1),LEFT(RIGHT(B37,LEN(B37)-C37+3),2))

And This is working perfectly fine but when there will be only one record in cell eg

1. sanjay r

then i am getting output as "1." instead of 1 only

i tried a lot but couldn't fix this

need help here.

In B1 , formula copied down:

=-LOOKUP(1,-MID(A1,IFERROR(1-LOOKUP(,-FIND(CHAR(10),A1,ROW(A:A))),1),ROW($1:$9)))
