Step 1. MID Formula

1. Press =MID and open the bracket =MID(

Now here there are 3 parameters (text, start_num , num_chars).

The first parameter text means text from which you want to extract the substring.

2. Choose the cell where the Pan Number is written and press comma (,) =MID(E4,

The second parameter start_num means the starting position from which you want to execute your data

3. So write 4 and press comma =MID(E4,4,

The third parameter num_chars means the number of characters which you want to execute from your data

4. So write 1 as a character which you want to execute and close the bracket =MID(E4,4,1)

5. Press Enter

6. Copy the Pan Number and drag it to the bottom of the table

Now the 4th Character is been executed from the Pan Card Number so the next step is to apply VLOOKUP Formula

Step 2: VLOOKUP Formula

Now there are 4 parameters (lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num , [range_lookup]).

The first parameter lookup_value means the value to search for in the first column of the table.

2. Choose the 4th Character cell which is executed from the MID Formula =VLOOKUP(F4,

The second parameter Table_array means two or more columns of data which is sorted in ascending order.

3. Select the entire 4th Character Table and press F4 Key =VLOOKUP(F4, $B$4:$C$13,

The third parameter col_index_num means column number in table from which the matching value must be returned

4. Then press 2 as column number =VLOOKUP(F4, $B$4:$C$13,2

The fourth character [range_lookup] means TRUE or FALSE for a match

5. So write 0 or FALSE for exact match and close the bracket =VLOOKUP(F4, $B$4:$C$13,2,0)

6. Press Enter

7. Copy the formula and drag it to the bottom of the table and you will see the Assesses in the Pan Card Number
