Google Sheets: How to Extract Text with MID Function

The MID Formula in Google Sheets

The MID formula in Google Sheets extracts a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at a specified position.

To use the MID formula, you need to provide three arguments: the text string you want to extract characters from, the starting position of the characters you want to extract, and the number of characters you want to extract.

For example, if you have the text string "Hello World" in cell A1 and you want to extract the word "World", you can use the formula:

=MID(A1, 7, 5)

This formula will start extracting characters from the 7th position in the text string "Hello World" and extract 5 characters, resulting in the output "World".

Now you can use simple words to process data. It's at CapGo AI Sheet. For Google Sheet formula:
