Default Mid function

Using this function returns the formula, not the answer.
How can I get it to display the result, not the formula?
Thanks,

Make sure the cells are not formatted to Text...Right clickFormat
CellsNumberSelect General..

In Cell A1 type 'Maria'

In B1 try the formula
=MID(A1,3,1)

If this post helps click Yes
---------------

Where are you using it, and how? In a worksheet it returns the result, part
