Usually I advise people to avoid using the mouse when possible; this is an exception. Read More...

Added a lesson with =MID() -- how to extract characters, counting from the pointyou specify
02/12/07 22:45 Filed in: Calc
Just added a lesson with the formula =MID(), which is used for extracting any given number characters from a cell or other text, starting from where you specify.
This is as easy formula, but it’s still very powerful, probably more powerful than both =LEFT() and =RIGHT().
There have been some activity on the forum, but remember; the more the merrier
Don’t be afraid to post there, and it will probably get you answers faster, and more answers, than mailing us!
