Hello from Steved

Please what do I need to do to the below formula to change 4040 to 4140

At this time it is not functioning.

=IF(MID(A15,2,1)="0",A15+100,A15)

Thankyou.

Works for me. Perhaps you've got spaces or other invisible characters in
your cell? Have a look at =MID(A15,2,1) to see whether it finds zero. You
say it's not functioning, but you haven't told us what the formula returns.

Hello David from Steved

It is giving me a VALUE!

The reason is that I've checked my column and it is formatted as Text
instead off General. Yes I went to another worksheet with column set as
General and it works.

Is it possible for the formula to work in either text or general.

Thankyou.

It should work with the cell formatted as text.
What is the value of =MID(A15,2,1)?
Did you look at your cell formatted as text to see whether there are leading
spaces or other invisible characters?

Hello David

=MID(A15,2,1) gives me #VALUE!

I also looked in the cell and it has only 4035 which I would like the
formula to convert it to 4135

Thanks for taking timeout.

Thankyou.
