Is there any way i can extract a digit from specific place from a date e.g there is date written in cell A1, 31-Dec-2024, Now i want to extract "1" which is "1" from december because december is 12th month and i want to return "1" in cell A3.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

What version of excel are you using - would be worth updating your profile to show version as solutions will be dependant on what version you have and therefore what functions available

Why 1 from December? What would you want from July - 7 or 0, or something else?
