Default Excel VBA MID Function

One way:

Public Sub MidA1ToA4()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("A1:A4")
With cell
.Value = Mid(.Text, 5, 4)
End With
Next cell
End Sub

Hi,

I do have strings of characters in a column of cells. Each cell has exact the
same number of characters (11). Like this:

Cells from A1 to A4

tva/1,23/bn
bnc/2,24/vb
gzc/3,12/jb
hzf/1,56/hj

I only need the characters at position 5,6,7,8:

1,23
2,24
3,12
1,56

I would like to do the task with a vba-macro that selects cells A1-A4 and
then shows only the 4 charakters. I think the vba MID-Function Mid (string,
start, length) would be the right tool. But I don“t know how to write the
makro.

Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot

Michael
