What is the use of the MID function in tableau

This recipe explains what is the use of the MID function in tableau

Recipe Objective - What is the use of the MID function in Tableau?

The MID function in tableau returns characters from the middle of the string specified starting at the index position start. The index position is 1 of the first character in the string. The optional argument length specifies the last index position in the string, and the returned string includes only that number of characters.

Steps to create MID function:

Step 1 > Connect the "NFL Offensive Player stats, 1999-2013.xlsx" data set.

Step 2 > Create "Mid Player" dimension calculated field using MID([Player], 3, 6) calculation.

Step 3 > Drag the "Player" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf.

Step 4 > Drag the "Mid Player" dimension and drop it onto the row shelf on the right of the Player dimension.

Our visualization using the MID function is Ready!
