Getting the first 3 digits out of 6 digit cells?

D

Darla

I have a 6 digit number in a cell. I want the first 3 digits of it to appear
in another cell. What is the formula?

=LEFT(A1,3)*1

Or, to make it a little more robust:

=IF(LEN(A1)<3,"",LEFT(A1,3)*1)

Hi Darla

Try > =MID(A1,1,LEN(A1)-3) in cell A2 if 6 digit no in A1, change cell
references to suit
