Well, if the OP is still interested, he could search the groups to find the
information for UDF GETFORMULA, and then using Satti's formula, it would be:
=--SUBSTITUTE(MID(getformula(A10),FIND("!",getformula (A10),FIND("=",getformula(A10))),99),"+","")
This would give the numeric equivalent after the + sign. Of course, if there
are multiple plus signs, or if the formula doesn't refer to a separate WB, or
if the OP doesn't have the UDF on every computer that will be using the file,
then it will fail, but hey, it's what the OP wanted, right?
I don't understand why the other extremely simple formulas won't work, but
this is the answer to the OP's question.

I think you'll find, Satti, that your formula will work if C3 contains a
text string, but not if C3 contains a formula.

Ok Try this :

=MID(C3,FIND("+",C3,FIND("!",C3)),99)

here i have taken the cell where the data
(=+'[Forecast.xls]June'!$CU$23+3200) is given.

now what i have done is first find "!" mark and then fine "+" sign after
that....this formula will extract "+3200"

Ok, here is another example, I have the following example, in cell
A1...


=+'[Forecast.xls]June'!$CU$23+3200

in cell A2, I want a formula to read A1 and give me just the +3200.
Cell A2 will equal +3200.

Thanks

If you want a formula to give you 150, the formula is =150

I don't want the difference. I want a formula to pull out the 150 so I
can use it in another part of my file.

In cell A1, I have 100. In cell A2, I have +A1+150 or 250. I need a
formula for cell A3 that points to cell A2 and gives me just the
+150
part of the formula so that A3=150.
