MID Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Extracting a substring from the middle of text
Understanding the MID Formula
The MID function in Excel extracts a specified number of characters from the middle of a text string, starting at a given position. It’s a text tool for parsing—like pulling codes or segments from data.
MID("Hello", 2, 3) returns 'ell', starting at the 2nd character and taking 3. It takes text, start_num, and num_chars, offering precise control over substring extraction.
Why Use MID?
MID grabs middles—think IDs or partial strings. Its flexibility makes it a powerful ally for text splitting, isolating specific portions for analysis or reformatting.
Example with Sample Data
| Text, Start, Length | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 'Hello', 2, 3 | =MID("Hello", 2, 3) | ell |
| 'Data123', 5, 3 | =MID("Data123", 5, 3) | 123 |
| 'Excel', 2, 2 | =MID("Excel", 2, 2) | xc |
MID extracts middles: 'ell' from 'Hello', '123' from 'Data123'. It’s a text carver.
