    You should always provide relevant examples. Your first post didn't mention this option at all!

     

    =IF(--MID(A2,FIND("x",A2)+1,IFERROR(FIND(" ",A2),LEN(A2))-FIND("x",A2))>--MID(B2,FIND("x",B2)+1,IFERROR(FIND(" ",B2),LEN(B2))-FIND("x",B2)),A2,B2)

     

    If you have Microsoft 365 or Office 2021:

    =LET(
    xPosA, FIND("x",A2),
    sPosA, IFERROR(FIND(" ",A2),LEN(A2)),
    numA, --MID(A2,xPosA+1,sPosA-xPosA),
    xPosB, FIND("x",B2),
    sPosB, IFERROR(FIND(" ",B2),LEN(B2)),
    numB, --MID(B2,xPosB+1,sPosB-xPosB),
    IF(numA>numB,A2,B2)
)

Use below formula-

=IF(--MID(A2,SEARCH("x",A2)+1,100)>--MID(B2,SEARCH("x",B2)+1,100),A2,B2)

    Thanks for your prompt response.
    but above formula is not working where cell conation some charter after number.
    in my data there is number after "x" and i just want to compare and populate only higher no between those cells.
    example :
    3.5Cx120 admm-al 3.5Ax25 admm-cu
    4Dx16 admm-al 3.5Bx300 admm-cu
