Character Search.

[brookdale]

I am new to working with excel functions, and I have what is probably a
simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer.

Say in cell F2 I have:

TBA TBA T 9:30AM

The "T" after the second TBA is considered the 9th character? How could
I make an equation in one cell that would yield the 9th character in
another cell?

Thanks.

=mid(b2,9,1)

will get ninth charecter from cell b2

=mid(f2,9,1)

There are other string functions that you may like, too.

Look in Excel's help for =left(), =right()

 

[CLR]

=MID(B1,C1,1) will return whatever number of character is in C1.........if
9, then the 9th character from the left.
