MID (Text,Start_Char,Num_Char)
where,
- is a text string containing the characters to be extracted,
- is the starting position of the first character to be extracted, and
- represents the number of characters to be displayed.
- MID(), returns a specific number of characters from a text string starting at the position you specify.
is a text string containing the characters to be extracted,
is the starting position of the first character to be extracted, and
represents the number of characters to be displayed.
Description
MID (Text,Start_Char,Num_Char) e.g. MID("String",1,3) displays Str as a result.
- MID counts 1 byte per characters. MID works with the languages that use 'Single Byte Character Set' (SBCS).
- If argument is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
- should be >= 1, else Calci displays #N/A error message.
- If > 'length of text', Calci displays empty text ("").
- If + > 'length of text', Calci displays the characters up to the end of text.
- If is negative, Calci displays #N/A error message.
Examples

=MID(A1,1,3) : Displays 3 character string in cell A1 starting from 5th position.
Displays Wel as the output. =MID(A2,7,14) : Displays 14 characters in cell A2 starting from 7th position.
Displays Orange as the output. =MID(A3,1,1) : Displays character string in cell A3 starting from 1st position.
Displays * as the output. =MID("good" & "morning",1,8) : Joins the two strings and returns 8 characters starting from 1st position.
Displays goodmorn as the output.
