S6N 561 6N S6N 573 6N S8N 345 8N S9S 597 9S I would like B2 to contain only the second and third character of the part number listed in cell A2.

You want the Mid() function which has 3 parameters
=MID(A1,2,2) A1 = the Cell you wish to examine 2 = the Character number in A1 you wish to start your extraction 2 = how many characters do you wish to pull out HTH "ferde" wrote: A---------------B S6N 561 6N S6N 573 6N S8N 345 8N S9S 597 9S I would like B2 to contain only the second and third character of the part number listed in cell A2.
