IsNumber & Mid function
I have a cell (B2) that contains "RT3ERIDU"
I wrote a simple formula =IF(ISNUMBER(MID(B2,3,1)),LEFT(B2,3),LEFT(B2,2)) If the third character is a number I want to extract the first 3 characters otherwise extract the first 2. This isn't working and I don't understand why. If I setup another cell with just the MID function then the cell displays the number 3. What am I missing here? |
