    Problem with LEFT and MID

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I'm attempting to create a 3 digit number from a 4 digit number by removing the number in the second position.

    1025 becomes 125
    2056 -> 256

    The formula above isn't doing it.

    Here is an alternate solution

    =(LEFT(A1,1) & RIGHT(A1,2))*1
