    Hi Doug, I tried following the steps for extracting the data between delimiters using Power Query. It looks easy in your video, but when I tried it, it didn't work. The delimiters in my situation were not parentheses, but quote marks. I selected 'text between delimiters' and then typed a quote mark for the 'start delimiter,' as well as a quote mark for the 'end delimiter.' After clicking 'okay,' nothing happened. Any ideas?

      Might want to copy/paste the quote marks if there are neutral versus curly quotes in your data.

    I really appreciate those of you who put these types of videos out. I checked out at least 6 others videos that got out of control complicated. This was easy to follow. Thank you.

    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)&"~")))

    Can't we just use Find and Replace tool to remove those parenthesis? (It worked for me). Thank you for the video. Liked Subscribed

      Yes you can if you don't need them; but depending on your use case like needing the original column intact then you'd want to keep it. Thanks for the sub!

    Hi! congratulations for the channel, very useful !. I have a question: is there a formula that tells me that the cell of numbers with a central space "10 30 50" is included in the number cell "5 10 30 40 50" and that returns me as a result the cell "5 10 30 40 50 "? can you help me? it's important please.

      It's like a keyword lookup since those numbers are acting like a string. See if these videos can help give ideas

    Hello Doug! I need to extract two pieces of data from the same cell. This video helped me with one but I need help with the other part. Data looks like this. hotel-DIA - Worker Name - SUP7.75
    I need the worker name and the SUP7.75 in separate columns. I was able to extract the SUP7.75 but still need to extract the Worker Name in a separate column. I appreciate suggestions!!

    Using Flash Fill Function Would be a Easiest Than any Other method......
