Hi kcchoctaw, welcome to the board.
Can you elaborate a bit on exactly what you're wanting to do?
I think we're all reading your queston and coming up with different questions & interpretations.
If you're simply wanting to see what the second digit in cell A1 is, then perhaps this: =MID(A1,2,1)
If that's not it, then I believe we'll need to know more. (and by 'we', I mean at least me.)
Hope it helps.
