Can someone please breakdown in layman's terms the num_chars part of this function for my formula: =MID(C40,(SEARCH("""",C40,1)+1),(SEARCH("""",C40,((SEARCH("""",C40,1))+1)))-(SEARCH("""",C40,1))-1)

When I separate SEARCH("""",B48,SEARCH("""",B48,1)+1)-(SEARCH("""",B48,1)-1) into its own cell for portfolio="qen002524" I get 11 but I can't explain it. The whole function is "simply" returning whatever is in b/t the quotes but the last part is confusing me when I try to dissect it.

Does the num_chars part say I am starting at the second quote less anything before the character after the first quote? The parenthesis make it really confusing and could be place in different spots but I am having trouble. Let me know if this makes sense.

Thanks
