  • Learn how to use the LEFT, RIGHT, and MID functions in Excel to extract information from the left side, right side, or middle of your existing data. These functions can be life savers for you when you need to clean up a spreadsheet or separate out certain data. #excel #exceltutorial ***Consider supporting Technology for Teachers and Students on Patreon***: / technologyforteachersa...

    I just finally barely passed an excel class that emphasized this MID function. I go to Cornell University so of course they are going to make the classes extremely difficult. The MID function within itself is not hard to learn at all but Cornell added an advanced skill to the MID function that made it extremely difficult to understand. What they did was have students conduct mathematical calculations within the MID function to allow it to add, subtract, multiply and divide within the second argument and then reference that calculation to other cells and even other worksheets. That class was no joke. The class is called fundamentals of spreadsheets at Cornell. Fundamentals my ass.

    Straightforward video thanks! But I am stuck with the more complex use of Mid function. Let's said we have a column for the states and we want to retrieve Ohio(OH) from the address so I assume we use the Mid and Find function but how do we retrieve just the Ohio(OH) part in such a long text format.

    Good tutorial - but the problem I have often is the input data is not always consistent -sometimes the phone is formatted as xxx-xxx-xxxx, or the zip code is xxxxx-xxxx. Maybe a follow up tutorial at some point on how to address these discrepancies. I did enjoy the video. Thanks

    • @pattyyeomans6334
      @pattyyeomans6334 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you ignored a basic "rule" of Excel: it is important to enter data in cells by the same format! The only way I know is to go back after using the Left, mid, right function and correct the source info in the proper format. Once it is corrected, the extracted information will also display correctly.

    • @justinchong4737
      @justinchong4737 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure if this is the best way but I know it’ll work…but you can use the spaces as a delimiter (google delimiter excel) to split the worlds into three columns. From there, you can use the concatenation function and the LEFT function to join the first letter of each word in each column together. Cheers!

    Thanks you very much for the video. Still remains a question. Anyone knows how to use the left function for a number, without taking the zero as a number. For instance, LEFT(0,55) gives 0 as output, while I want to ignore the 0, and only get the 5. Anyone can help me?
