I'd like to simply do what I do when I copy/paste formulas to a specific row to get the outcome. For example, below

610764180018
would be in my system '18001'
610764111319
would be in my system '11131'

I need to find a way to chisle off the first six and last one digits to make a 6-digit code.

I know the forumula must be simple and out there, but I've looked around and have spent a few hours with this. Any ideas out there? Very much thanks!

This formula will give you want:
=LEFT(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,6),6),5)

Replace "A1" with the reference that you want.
