Dynamic Array (DA) Make the 4th item output as a value not text?
LET(RowCount,ROUNDDOWN((LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","")))/4+1,0),TokenIndex,SEQUENCE(RowCount,4,1),Start,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(","&A1,",","|",TokenIndex)),Length,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A1&",,,,",",","|",TokenIndex))-Start,IFERROR(MID(A1,Start,Length),""))
The active formula is this bit at the end: IFERROR(MID(A1,Start,Length),"")
but doing this: Value(IFERROR(MID(A1,Start,Length),""))
turns the preceding three results in to blanks, like wise various Text() formats.
I also tried an IF to only do the Value thing on the 4th item, but no joy, though that may be a way I have missed.
This is the csv data for cell A1:
| Customer2,SLC,01PG,-0021600.00,Customer2,01CQ,01PG,00021600.00,Customer2,SLC,02PG,-0021600.00,Customer2,SLC,03PG,-0024840.00,Customer2,02CQ,02PG,00021600.00,Customer2,02CQ,03PG,00024840.00,ABCD ltd,PLC,01AB,00002400.00,ABCD ltd,03CQ,01AB,-0002000.00,ABCD ltd,03CQ,01AB,-0000400.00,ABCD ltd,PLC,02AB,00002400.00,ABCD ltd,04CQ,02AB,-0002400.00,ABCD ltd,PLC,03AB,00002760.00,ABCD ltd,05CQ,03AB,-0002760.00,Customer2,SLC,04PG,-0021600.00,ABCD ltd,PLC,04AB,00002400.00 |

If the other columns must not be converted then only Norie's solution can do it.

The first three columns are required text, the 4th being the numeric value.
Why?
Looks like
Norie's is specific to the 4th value
Yours is robust against wider errors?
Must admit I'm not sure what you mean about
"If the other columns must not be converted"
Do you mean the first three columns must not be converted to values? That is true, but yours works too.
Regret I am not exactly qualified to adjudicate... hence my question.

Maybe it would be a phone number with leading zeros. My formula would chop of the leading zeros.

ok thanks saqib, that will help Me analyse both to see what I learn
