@Sa743liz- 
RegEx:
^[^\d(]+([\d,.()]+).*$

It will allow decimals, the brackets, and commas within the number

 

All the best,

@Sa743liz- that's actually a little more complex than I originally spotted. You actually have brackets before the numbers sometimes. I think this is actually doing what we want here:

BS_THE_ANALYST_0-1677528767559.png

RegEx:
^.*?([\(\d]+[\d,.)]+).*$

 

It seems to behave as expected in Alteryx:

All the best,
