You would need to extract the number from the text. You can try using a [grok processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/grok-processor.html) or a [dissect processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/dissect-processor.html) to achieve something like this.
