Assuming the text is in cell A1, type =RIGHT(A1,9)
If this doesn't work, the text may contain non-printing characters. If so,
type
=RIGHT(CLEAN(C9),9)
Hope this helps.

If yu have a set of mixed numbers and letters and want only the nine-most
numbers, then:
=RIGHT(returnnumerals(A2),9)
where the UDF is:
Public Function ReturnNumerals(rng As Range) As String
Dim sStr As String, i As Long, sStr1 As String
Dim sChar As String
sStr = rng.Value
For i = 1 To Len(sStr)
sChar = Mid(sStr, i, 1)
If sChar Like "[0-9]" Then
sStr1 = sStr1 & sChar
End If
Next
ReturnNumerals = sStr1
End Function
