I have a sample below.

I have a string of text and what I'm after is to return the value "H" for the 1st entry below, but, ignoring the first 3 characters and for the 2nd entry return that value of "T",ignoring the 1st 3 characters.

I've tried combing the FIND and RIGHT functions without success.

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Do you mean like this?
