Get second letter in expression in SSRS

Question

I have a list of machines listed like so:

M101
M102
M201
M202
M203

What I desire to return is

1
1
2
2
2

My question is how would I extract my desired return of the second charcter from my group expression? My field is =Fields!machine.Value

Answer 1

I would use the following

=MID(Fields!machine.Value,2,1)

That will give you the second charcter in the string.
