Excel 2002: Single step of selecting characters
Dear Sir,
May I know is there a single step to select the characters I wanted as follows: (4th and 5th character from the left) A B PKHDJ000163 DJ PKHCN000214 CN PKHSB000266 SB PKHDN000744 DN PKHBF000456 BF Currently I need two steps to get the answer. I am using =RIGHT(A1,5) at B1 and = RIGHT(B1,2) at C1. Thanks Low -- A36B58K641 |

Excel 2002: Single step of selecting characters
Try this:
=MID(A1,4,2) This takes the middle of the string, starting with the 4th character and taking 2 characters. Hope this helps.
