    Reference Specific Characters in a Cell

    Is it possible to reference only a certain character or characters in a cell. For instance: Cell A1's value is: 1207515, I would need to only average the value of (75) or the 4 and 5 characters of the cell. Again, thank you in advance for all of the help. GR

    Maybe something like this?

    =MID(A1,4,2)

    youd need to change them back to numbers or average wont work
    =MID(A1,4,2)+0
