Something like this:

=if(or(istext(mid(d42,2,2)),mid(d42,2,2)*1<2,mid(d 42,2,2)*116),1,"Assign
Division")

or this:
=if(and(mid(d42,2,2)*1=2,mid(d42,2,2)*1<=16),"Ass ign Division",1)

Regards,
Fred.

Forgot to say that the current formula is working. I just want to add that
if
it does find text instead of numbers, it needs to equal 1. It still needs
to
equal 1 if it finds numbers less than 2 or greater than 16.

Below is my formula. The formula turns up an error when it finds text

of numbers. I would like it to return 1 when it finds text instead of
numbers.

=IF(OR((0+MID(D42,2,2))*1<2,(0+MID(D42,2,2)16)),1 ,"Assign Division")

Thanks in advance for your help.
