ID number to Gender

[Mags]

I want to see if the employee is a male or female from the ID number?

ID number - 751105 0 931087

The SEVENTH number will tell you if the employee is a male or female
0-4 = Female
5-9 = Male

What formule can I use?

Try

=IF(--MID(A1,7,1)<5,"Female","Male")

or to handle errors & blank entries

=IF(AND(N(A1),LEN(A1)>6),IF(--MID(A1,7,1)<5,"Female","Male"),"")

Hi Jacob,

May i know what is the purpose of putting -- in front of MID and what does
it mean? My formula is quite similar to yours
=IF((MID(A1,7,1)<="4"),"Female","Male") but i need to put "" at the number 4,
though I do not know why I need to do so.

The formula I posted compares the MID() result with a numeric as below (<5).
MID() returns a string value and hence I have used -- to convert that to a
numeric
MID(A1,7,1)<5

Your formula compares the MID() result with a string "4" (with double
quotes) and hence there is no need to convert this to a numeric..Instead if
you have used the numeric 4 (without quotes) as below...the formula will not
work correctly...You may try the below on several examples..

=IF((MID(A1,7,1)<=4),"Female","Male")

Assume that you are having the value in A1 cell

A1 Cell
751105 0 931087

Copy and paste the below formula in B1 cell
=IF(A1="","",IF(AND(VALUE(MID(TRIM(A1),8,1))>=0,VALUE(MID(TRIM(A1),8,1))<=4),"Female",IF(AND(VALUE(MID(TRIM(A1),8,1))>=5,VALUE(MID(TRIM(A1),8,1))<=9),"Male","")))

Thanks it works
