    1. Hello,

      If you need to avoid using the MID function to fulfill your task, then I can recommend you to try extracting numbers from your list of data with the help of the Extract Text tool.

    Hope this is clear now.
    Thanks

    1. Hello,

      Supposing that your table starts from A1, please try to do the following:

      1. Enter P10,000.00 in cell A2;
      2. Enter the following formula in cell B2:
      =A2*2.75%
      3. Select the cells with your data and drag the fill handle (a small square at the lower right-hand corner of the selected cell) down.

      Hope it will help you.
