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.
Pls make a video on how to extract only numbers or text in a given cell.
I liked this one. Thx.
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.

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)&"~")))
please try this for right TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),LEN(A2)))
Very confusing between 2.20 and 3.10. What is the relevance of the find space, to extracting the first four characters?
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.
۔
Thank you so much! I appreciate you explaining this in an easy way to understand and in very little time too!
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
this is excellent, I never knew -1 and +1 at the end.
Thank you very much.
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
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
please try this for left LEFT(TRIM(A2),FIND(" ",TRIM(A2)&" "))
Your way is very smart to teach 😯

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.
Suppose I only need the first & last name (JOHN ZACHARY) of this: JOHN S AND YVONNE ZACHARY
Check this.

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.
wow. what kind of computer was that? looks cool
I was breaking my head looking fot this. You saved my semester!!! Thank a billion
I really liked this but wish it had the ending.
Ok, so this video just saved me SOOO MUCH time, thank you!
nop not very well explained
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.
Thanks!
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?
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!
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 /

Thank You!
@@laissezfairez glad it helped.
Excellent
@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!!!!
Thank you so much much sir. It saved me a day.
This was very good, however can excel do this for finds based on mulitple values? IE your looking for an "M" or "W".
This video saved me from a disaster, thanks a lot man
Thanks so much for such an awesome tutorial... helping me
Beautiful, thanks for making this video 😊
this is wonderful. thank you for this one
I NEED THIS PROJECT FILE BROTHER PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
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
it's very very nice trick!!!
Nice video, pls make a video in hindi
Edward Norton Sound... O,O
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.
No I get value errors
This is great. So - how do I parse: Michael J Fox Jr?
Kindly send 2nd part link
clearly explained...Thanks....
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 bro
thank you so much for this ... really needed for my work :)))
Thank you!
Thanks
Use
=Left(A9, 4)
thanks a lot for sharing
It is easy and helpful
good
Thank you so much for this video.
You are amazing, thank you for the great vid!
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 -)))))
=right(A9,5)
thank you, very helpful
This was so helpful thank you!
GOOD tutorial- THX!
Can you find various cells?
THANK YOU!!!
hi
Hi!
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.
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)
