How to Use the Number Extractor from Text
The Number Extractor from Text pulls every number out of a press release, report, or note that mixes prose with figures, and organizes them into a clean list. It correctly recognizes numbers with thousands separators (1,234,567) and decimals (12.5) as single values, and it goes further than a simple list by also calculating the count, sum, average, maximum, and minimum of everything it finds — giving you an instant read on the overall scale of the data.
It's useful for quickly totaling scattered revenue or headcount figures buried in meeting notes, pulling just the statistics out of a news article, or aggregating numeric answers from a survey. Results update live as you type, and the extracted number list can be copied straight into a spreadsheet or another document. Everything is processed only in your browser, so sensitive internal data never leaves your device.
