    How to select a specific digit within a number that has a decimal point.

    Hi,

    I could use some help on how to select a specific digit within a number that has a decimal point; and then putting that digit into a different cell.

    In example: I have the number 74.398; I'd like to have th "9" placed in a different cell exclusively.


    Thank you,
    Chubs

    if its always same format eg ##.#X# where x is the number you want then

    =MID(A1,(FIND(".",A1)+2),1)+0
