Hi,
Okay, so:
A1 displays "127:15" (no quotes, text cell).
A2 has the function MID(A1,1,3), to retrieve the number "127".
A3 has the function IF(A2>186,"yes","no").
A3 says: yes.
Why?
Thank you all!

=IF(--A2>186,"yes","no")

That worked, thanks!
What exactly do those lines do?
just forces it to a real number you could have also used a2+0 or a2*1 or
=IF(VALUE(A2)>186,"yes","no")
To further Martin's explaination, the MID function returns text (a string). You're asking to compare that string to a number. Martin's formula will force A2 into a number. Another way would be to change your MID equation to read
=MID(A1,1,3)+0
Hope that helps.

substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires
