Simple Regex tool can help. Regex here is (\d+,\d+|\d{2,3})

It matches "two or three digits number" OR "more than 4 digits with comma separator for thousands".

 

Try this as first attempt to know this will do for the rest of your data.

Just a follow-up a question, however the Regex fails in these situations.
