MID function

Characters from the middle of text. MID works in Sheets with the usual arguments and results, on cells and on live data from the tools you connect.

=MID(text, start, count)
ArgumentUse
textrequired

On live data

In Sheets, MID sits next to live data from a connected tool: =data.orders.sum(total) totals a table, =list.orders(customer) spills a column's distinct values, and a linked table column such as table.orders[Total] is a range any function accepts.
