Looking for a way to determine if the 3rd character in a cell is a
space. (Dealing with mailing lists; trying to isolate values which
are first initial-period- "space" last name.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi Rick,

This may help you.

=IF(MID(E26,3,1)=" ","Y","N")

Hi Rick

See if this can help:

=If(Mid(A1,3,1)=" ","Space","No Space")

This will return either TRUE or FALSE:

=MID(A1,3,1)=CHAR(32)

CHAR(32) is the standard space character.
