5th Char in a cell
Hi
I know this is simple, and I know I should know it, but I cannot get it to work and I have searched Help and the answers seem more complicated than what I really want. I have a Col that can have a number of codes with varying lengths. What I want to do is extract the 5(Fifth) Char from each Cell. eg ABCD ABCDEFGH ABCDE ABCDEF ABCDEFGHIJK Thanking you once again |

Thank you, Thank you.
Sometimes we try to make things more difficult that what they are.

You need the MID function. You'll find it in Excel help.
