=MIDB(txt, snum, nob)=
where,
*<math>txt</math> is a text string containing the characters to be extracted,
*<math>snum</math> is the starting position of the first character to be extracted, and
*<math>nob</math> represents the number of characters to be displayed in bytes.
MIDB() displays a specific number of characters from a text string, with reference to the specified starting position and specified number of bytes.
== Description ==
MIDB(txt, snum, nob)
'''Number_chars''' - represents the number of charcaters you want MID to extract.
e.g. MIDB("<#*>",1,2) displays '''<#''' as a result.
</div>
*MIDB works with the languages that use 'Double Byte Character Set' (DBCS).
*MIDB counts each double byte character as 2, when language is set to DBCS. Else it counts 1 byte per character.
<div id="1SpaceContent" class="zcontent" align="left">
*If argument <math>txt</math> is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
*<math>snum</math> should be > 1, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
*If <math>snum</math> > 'length of text', Calci displays empty text ("").
*If <math>snum</math> + <math>nob</math> > 'length of text', Calci displays the characters up to the end of text.
*If <math>noc</math> is negative, Calci displays an #N/A error message.

=MIDB(A1,1,5) : Displays 5 character string in cell A1 starting from 1st position. Displays '''ABC D''' as the output. Space character is also included.
=MIDB(A3,1,1) : Displays 1 character string in cell A3 starting from 1st position. Displays '''*''' as the output.
