Hi I want to remove first 3 values from a string and last 4 values from a same string and cocatenate those is that possible, for example I have 2100321034432 (I want to remove 210 and 4432 so I should only have 032103).

@judspud Thanks for the reply, but I used query editor add column pane, to extract mid 5 digits, with specifying start and number of values to extract.

Hi @Anmolgan 

 

Will the string always be the same length?

 

If so, you can use the MID function

Hope this helps

 

Thanks,

George
