PART 1
This tutorial shows you how to pull text from cells and separate them into multiple columns. This is an advanced tutorial that gives a detailed explanation of how to use the LEN() and FIND() Functions and Formulas in excel.
This video helped me with an assignment that seemed like it would take me forever, finished in minutes!! awesome
While totally appreciating the logic of extraction and also acknowledging the facts that things can be achieved in excel via umpteen ways, I would draw everyone's attention here to a method of extracting last word which doesn't involve len substitute right search. It could be achieved for whatever be the no of rows.
My must watch video recommendation toward being better in excel everyday, every moment.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you explaining this in an easy way to understand and in very little time too!
Pls make a video on how to extract only numbers or text in a given cell.
I liked this one. Thx.
I was breaking my head looking fot this. You saved my semester!!! Thank a billion
this is excellent, I never knew -1 and +1 at the end.
Thank you very much.
lol, in regards to pronunciation, I don't know if that is good or bad but I am glad the tutorial was helpful for you. I've never though about this pin-pen merger concept before but it is interesting. If it's hard to understand, sorry about that, I had a crappy mic when I did my early tutorials; the new tutorials are made with a much better microphone so I hope that helps.

Ok, so this video just saved me SOOO MUCH time, thank you!
Your way is very smart to teach 😯

I really liked this but wish it had the ending.
This video saved me from a disaster, thanks a lot man
I wrote that same formula with and without the insert function dialog box and it always gives me a error. I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you so much much sir. It saved me a day.
Very confusing between 2.20 and 3.10. What is the relevance of the find space, to extracting the first four characters?
Good tutorial but a simpler solution is the TEXT TO COLUMNS and separate by space
wcthrill Jesus Christ thank u... u saved me time for something....
YES TRULY SIMPLEST WAY IS TEXT TO COLOUMN
Correct, but with the video explanation, you now have the formula for the future. So you don't need to use the text to columns again.
Beautiful, thanks for making this video 😊
this is wonderful. thank you for this one
Thanks so much for such an awesome tutorial... helping me
please try this for right TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),LEN(A2)))
Sir, I request you to please make a formula in which I can extract two or three words from the middle of the line of a cell in Excel. I have made different formulas for both, but I am not able to form a formula by mixing them both. I am sharing both those formulas with you. You are requested to mix these two and make a formula so that I can extract two or three or four words from a line in a cell. Please Please
(To extract one word from mid of line)
=Trim(MID(SUBSTITUTE(B6," ",REPT(" ",LEN(B6))),(C6-1)*LEN(B6)+1,LEN(B6)))
(To extract 2 or 3 word from the starting of the line)
=TRIM(LEFT(B1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(B1," ","~",A1)&"~")))
I am needing some help with being able to remove decimals from cells and leaving the remaining info:
For example- the initial data in a cell reads . M19.012.
I used the Left Function and it gets me to . M19.012, but now I want to get rid of the decimal & the space in front of M, so all i am left with is just M19.012.. HELP????
Control h to go to find replace dialogue box.
Find . And replace with nothing
wow. what kind of computer was that? looks cool
clearly explained...Thanks....
Thanks!
It is also ok to use =left(A7,find(" ",A7)-1) and for C7 =right(A7,find(" ",A7)-1). I tried this method and after editing A7, it will also update B7 or C7.
Thank you so much for this video.
please try this for left LEFT(TRIM(A2),FIND(" ",TRIM(A2)&" "))
Excellent
This was so helpful thank you!
What if i've got a "10c" and "9b" in another cell, and i need to create a formula to only extract the numbers? Please helplplplp!
How do I find a certain word in one cell and if that word exists in that cell copy it into another cell in that row? Thanks
my find function is returning a #value error in the cell. I put it on a new excel workbook too but still getting the same error.
This was very good, however can excel do this for finds based on mulitple values? IE your looking for an "M" or "W".
it's very very nice trick!!!
Thank you!
You are amazing, thank you for the great vid!
It is easy and helpful
Hi, Do you know a function similar to find but calculate from the right? example I have 123/456/789 and I want to grab the last digits after the last/ only, in this case is 789 (number of digits could be vary). Many Thanks
use text to column with delimiter /

@@laissezfairez glad it helped.
@ExcelisHell
Thank you for wonderful tutorial!!!
I have one problem. How to extract 3rd word from excel cell if cell contains 4 and more words? For example cell contains words: "John Robert Smith Alex Bob" and i need to extract "Smith" or "Alex" from this cell. Thank you in advance!!!!
This is great. So - how do I parse: Michael J Fox Jr?
thank you so much for this ... really needed for my work :)))
GOOD tutorial- THX!
thank you, very helpful
I need to have 50 characters in a cell. I used =Len(text) to find out how many characters are in the cell. If I have more than 50, how do I delete the rest of the characters?
Nice video, pls make a video in hindi
I found this tutorial very helpful. Thank you.
A side note: Are you aware that your pronunciation exhibits what's called the "pin-pen merger"? This might be confusing for some of your students. For example, you probably pronounce 'bit' and 'bet' with distinct vowel sounds, but 'pin' and 'pen' likely have the same vowel sound in your speech. In your tutorial you say 'enter' as 'inter', the same phenomenon. More importantly, you explain the 'len' function, but pronounce it as the 'lin' function.
thanks a lot for sharing
could you show me a formula for separating letters off text that does not have spacing for exapmle i have time format that 7:45PM there is no spacing between the 5 and PM how do i separate as will have 2 date formats PM & AM
Please ask questions like this in the forum: www.teachexcel.com/talk/microsoft-office?src=yt
You will need some text manipulation functions or text-to-columns for this.
thanks have posted the question - i know i have the option of text to columns but i needed a formula that helps me clena up the data faster
Thanks
Use
=Left(A9, 4)
Came across this video which spawned an idea for something I'm trying to do. Hoping his channel is still being monitored.
I have 2 workbooks.
WB2 has a column that I'm trying to collect data from via a Vlookup to pull into WB1.
I was going to use the LEFT & FIND function as shown here but I'm a bit stuck on he left function. I have to return the #s on the left from a cell value that could be "100 / 150"
I tried this and got an #NA error: =IF(VLOOKUP(D2,LEFT([WB2.xlsx]Assignments!$D$3:$M$200, FIND(" ",[WB2.xlsx]Assignments!$D$3:$M$200)-1),10,FALSE)>99,"No", "Yes")
I tried this and got a #Value! error: =IF(LEFT(VLOOKUP(D3,[WB2.xlsx]Assignments!$D$3:$M$200,10,FALSE), FIND(" ",VLOOKUP(D3,[WB2.xlsx]Assignments!$D$3:$M$200,10,FALSE)-1))>99,"No", "Yes")
I'm not entirely sure this can be done, but hoping so b/c otherwise, I'm going to have twice as many columns to look up data without using the left/find functions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you in advance.
THANK YOU!!!
Can you find various cells?
Kindly send 2nd part link
thanks bro
=right(A9,5)
I posted in part 2 but I'll post here as well:
If you are having trouble understanding how Excel counts the chars within a given text, hit the insert ("INS" on my Toshiba) button. Excel counts the chars themselves, not necessarily chars that are located based on the number of the tiny space to the right or left of it (that you're caret/flashing cursor is on)
good
its so hard.. lol i have over 8,000 names to divide and at least 2000 share a common name and i need to divide to print with all info of the full columns
6:58 Oh god we got Robert Smith. What is The Cure for that???
yeah the tribute to th forest ......again and again again and againd again again and againd again -)))))
I NEED THIS PROJECT FILE BROTHER PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
No I get value errors
Suppose I only need the first & last name (JOHN ZACHARY) of this: JOHN S AND YVONNE ZACHARY
Check this.
