Is there a way to return (in Excel, if possible) the largest 4-digit number (by word boundaries) in a string?  I've extracted the 863 fields from Millennium for my active periodicals, and want to find the latest year in each run.  I'm willing to estimate it by taking the largest 4-digit number in the string. I'm doing this in Excel.  Any help?
