Hi everyone,
This is my first question for this forum. Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
As I showed you in the image, I have to find the 2 numbers right of H. I have tried some formulas but I could not. Like this:
Excel Formula:
==FIND(Workings_1!C2,MID(Workings_1!C2,3,2))
How can I solve this?

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Your image is a little confusing because you didn't give us an example result.

Maybe this:

Excel Formula:
=MID(Workings_1!C2, FIND("H", Workings_1!C2)+1, 2)

Solution
Why you didn't use the firstly FIND function
I assume you mean, "Why isn't the FIND function in the first argument?"

The arguments to the MID function are

MID(text, startnum, numchar) where
text is the full text string--the full string in C2
startnum is the first character for the substring--we find the "H" by using the FIND function to get startnum
numchar
is the number of characters for the substring--2 because you want 2 digits


why did put +1?
The function FIND finds the "H" but you want to start with the first character after the H.
