Excel MID Function Syntax
This function can be used to slice a given string and return only a part of that string. It considers a starting point, which will be the starting index of the string, from which we want to print. It will consist of the string that we want to slice. It can be a string provided in double quotes(” “), or it can be a reference to a cell on which slicing is to be done. It will also consist of the length of the characters, which will indicate how many characters we want to print taking reference from the starting index.
Syntax:
=MID(Text to be sliced, starting index, length of the string)
Arguments:
The text to be Sliced is the Original Text
The Starting Index is the position of the First character that you want to extract.
The length of the String is the number of characters to extract.
Excel MID Function
If you use programming languages, like Python, you must have used a function called string slicing, which extracts a part of the string and can directly print it, or store a result. The same functionality can be achieved in Excel when we use Excel’s MID function.
The MID function can return a part of the string provided to it. Let us see the workings of this function.
