Not sure if this should be a defect of enhancement, but here we go:

when using the Mid() functiion in Excel, the resulting value takes the
characteristics of the new string. E.g. Mid("123";2;1) results in 2. Excel
recognises this as a number, therefore Mid("123";2;1)*3 results in 6.

In Calc the result of a Mid function is always a text string. therefore
Mid("123";2;1)*3 results in 0.

I use this function to make a checkdigit function on our product codes.
