Fisher, 7+3=10, but maybe this will do what you want
=MID(A1,4,1)&MID(A1,5,1)

I got a problem! Let me show it as an example:

- We ave a coloumn with the number: 4567345

- my problem is, that I want to sum the 4th (7) and 5th (3) digits. The
calculation is: 7 + 3 = 73. How do I that in excel?

Can anybody help?

Try using & instead of +

2+2=4
2&2=22

Does:
=MID(A1,4,1)&MID(A1,5,1)
NOT give you what you want?
Where A1 is the cell that contains the value.

Paul B Yes, in real 7 +3 = 10. But there exists some kind of "maths",
that says, 2 +2 = 22, 3+5 = 35 and so on. I want to put these to digits
togehter (without summing).

In my case, I want to create a new 2 digts number (here by putting 7 and 3
together to 73) from the existing number (4567345) by picking out 7 and 3
and putting them together as 73.

How to do that? I really need some help.

Jim gave you the answer.

Keep in mind that both mid and & return a text string and not a number. The
result still needs to be coerced into a value if you want to perform any kind
of calculations on it...

Just for the record, the '+' operator works as does '&' when used on
strings. E.g.,

Dim S1 As String: S1 = "2"
Dim S2 As String: S2 = "2"
Debug.Print S1 + S2 ' displays 22

This burned me bad once.
