If cell contains 6 charactors copy them

Hello,

I have a little problem I'm hoping someone can help with with. I appreciate any advice you can give me.

I have a column in excel that has 6 or ore charactors. If there are just 6 charactors, I would like it to copy those 6 to the new cell. If there are more than 6 charactors, I would like it to copy just the first three letters over. I'm not sure how to tell it to look for a certain # of charctors.

Thanks so much for your help!
