Setting formulas to pull data from a specific character spacing...
Hi Chip,
I read your reply to a posting on the discussion board and came to the conclusion, you are an Excel genius! I am trying to identify and insert data in a new field based on a series from another field: see below Job No. Department new field 77656S 6 I would like to set a formula where the 5th character in the Job No. column (in this case 6) will be automatically be placed in the Department. This way I could set an auto-filter if I am looking for department related data only. I hope my request makes sense to you. Your help is greatly appreciated in advance! -- pnb "God Is Love" |

If your data is in field A2, in field A3 enter the formula;
=mid(A2,5,1) This will give you 1st character from the 5th character in field A2.
