MID Function in MS Excel

    ** In Microsoft Excel, the MID function is used to extract a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at a specific position. The syntax for the MID function is as follows:

MID(text, start_num, num_chars)

Text: This is the text string from which you want to extract characters.

Start_num: This is the starting position from which you want to extract characters. The first character in the text string is 1.

Num_chars: This is the number of characters that you want to extract from the text string.

Here's an example of how you can use the MID function:

Let's say cell A1 contains the text string "Hello, World!".

If you want to extract the word "World" from this text, which starts at the 8th position and is 5 characters long, you can use the MID function like this:

=MID(A1, 8, 5)

    After entering this formula, the result would be "World". The MID function extracted 5 characters from the text string starting at the 8th position.    **
