MID Function Tutorial

The MID function in Excel is used to extract a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at a specified position. The syntax is:

MID(text, start_num, num_chars)

  • text: The text string from which you want to extract characters.

  • start_num: The position of the first character you want to extract (starting from 1).

  • num_chars: The number of characters you want to extract.

Example:

If cell A1 contains the text “Hello World”, the formula =MID(A1, 7, 5) will return “World”.
