Default select only certain characters from a cell.

assume your data is in cell A1

=Right(A1,4)

would display Pump

=Left(A1,6) & right(A1,4)

would take out UNAGGLO

I have a cell with something like

NT7230UNAGGLOPUMP

I want another cell to read this one but only take out the UNAGGLO bit of
it.

IE only characters 7 through 11.

I want another cell to take only the last 4 characters and thus display
PUMP.

how can I do this??
