NEW: Now updated with LET and LAMBDA functions for the more complicated formulas.

NEW Microsoft 365 Functions! TEXTAFTER, TEXTBEFORE, TEXTJOIN, TEXTSPLIT, REGEXREPLACE

EXAMPLES

☆ LEN: Get the length of a text string (number of characters)

Formula: =LEN(text)

☆ UPPER, LOWER, PROPER: Change the case of a text string

Formula: =UPPER(text)
Formula: =LOWER(text)
Formula: =PROPER(text)

☆ EXACT: Case-sensitive text comparisons

Formula: =EXACT(text,UPPER(text))
Formula: =EXACT(text,LOWER(text))
 Formula: =EXACT(text,PROPER(text))

☆ CONCATENATE: Combine text to create a string

Formula: =CONCATENATE("Hi"," ","World")

Formula: ="Hi"&" "&"World"

NOTE When used for concatenation, the & character is used as an "operator" rather than a function.
operators are +, -, and /.

The CONCAT and TEXTJOIN functions are also useful for concatenating strings, but are ava
365 subscription using Excel 2016 or Excel Online.

Formula: =CONCAT(A1:B1)

Formula: =TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, A1:B1)

☆ CHAR, UNICHAR: Return a special character based on a numeric

When you concatenate text and need to include double quotes, you can use the CHAR(34) or UNICHAR(34) f
function lets you return the character for a given numeric code (most of the codes correspond to ASCII values
function does the same thing for decimal Unicode values (UTF-16). The CODE and UNICODE functions do th
you the decimal numeric value for a given character.

The UNICHAR and UNICODE functions are available in Excel 2013 or later.

Use CHAR(10) or UNICHAR(10) to return the line break character - and remember to toggle Word Wrap for th
of the line break.

Code CHAR CODE UNICHAR UNICODE

 Formula: =CHAR(34) & value & CHAR(34)

Formula: ="Hi" & CHAR(10) & "World"

☆ REPT: Repeat a text string N times

The REPT function creates a text string by repeating a character or string a number of times. The following ex
REPT("★",num) to create a dot plot.

Votes Dot Plot

5 ★★★★★
9 ★★★★★★★★★
3 ★★★
6 ★★★★★★

Create a Progress bar without Conditional Formatting

You can create a progress bar using an in-cell bar via conditional formatting, but if that method is not available
reasons), you can represent the progress as a discrete fraction like n/10 and use REPT to create an in-cell pro
idea to use "empty" character symbols to represent the incomplete portion of the progress bar because the res

REFERENCE Using Unicode Characters in Excel

☆ TRIM, CLEAN, SUBSTITUTE: Remove extra spaces and other cha

TRIM removes all spaces (ASCII character 32) except for one space between words.
 Formula: =TRIM(text)

If you also need to remove nonprinting characters such as tabs, newlines, etc. you can use the CLEAN functio
ASCII characters 0-31.

Formula: =CLEAN(text)

You can use the SUBSTITUTE function when cleaning up text if you need to remove other types of non-ASCII
replace the characters with normal spaces. Wrap the function within TRIM and CLEAN to remove extra space
characters. This is a good way to handle tabs (9) and newlines (10) and non-breaking spaces (160) so that yo
that should be separated by a space. The example below nests the SUBSTITUTE function multiple times to ge
and non-breaking spaces within one formula.

Formula: =TRIM( CLEAN( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SU

BSTITUTE(text,CHAR(160)," "),CHAR(10),"
"),CHAR(9)," ") ) )

Formula converted to LAMBDA:

LAMBDA: v42_textCleanPlus
=v42_textCleanPlus(text)

Sometimes your text has special quote symbols that need to be changed to normal quotes. These special quo
’(146), “(147), ”(148). The normal double quotes is CHAR(34).

Formula: =SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUBSTITUTE( SUB

STITUTE(text,CHAR(145),"'"),CHAR(146),"'"),CHAR
(147),CHAR(34)),CHAR(148),CHAR(34))

Formula converted to LAMBDA:

LAMBDA: v42_textFixSpecialQuotes
=v42_textFixSpecialQuotes(text)

☆ FIND, SEARCH: Get the position of text within a string

 The FIND and SEARCH functions will return the starting character position of a text string within another string
sensitive and FIND is not. The default for the [start_num] argument is 1 (the beginning of the string).

Case Sensitive
Formula: =FIND(find_text,within_text,[start_num])
=FIND(" ","Tom Sawyer")

NOT Case Sensitive

Formula: =SEARCH(find_text,within_text,[start_num])
=SEARCH(" ","Tom Sawyer")

The [start_num] argument can come in handy if you want to find the position of the 2nd occurrence of text with
this by using a nested FIND or nested SEARCH formula, like this:

Find the Position of the 2nd Space

Formula: =FIND(" ",text,FIND(" ",text,1)+1)

Find the Position of the 2nd "A"

Formula: =SEARCH("A",text,SEARCH("A",text,1)+1)

☆ SUBSTITUTE: Replace the Nth or each occurrence of text within a

The SUBSTITUTE function is very powerful, especially because it can be used to replace the Nth occurrence
some other character. If the Nth occurrence is not specified, it will replace every occurrence.

Formula: =SUBSTITUTE(original_text,old_text,new_text,[occurrence])

old_text new_text
Replace each occurrence: # ,
old_text new_text
Replace only the 2nd occurrence: # ,

When combined with FIND or REPLACE, you can use SUBSTITUTE to find the position of the Nth occurrence
another text string.

Find the Position of the 3rd space in the text string

 Formula: =FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(text," ","#",3),1)

Text: Tim A. J. Crane

☆ MID, REPLACE: Extract or replace text based on position and leng

The MID function is like the substr() function in other coding languages. It extracts a string from within another
starting character position and the number of characters. The REPLACE function is similar, except that instead
replaces the text with a string that you specify.

Formula: =MID(text,start_num,num_chars)

start_num num_chars
5 3

Formula: =REPLACE(text,start_num,num_chars,replace_text)

start_num num_chars
3 1

☆ LEFT, RIGHT: Get a number of characters starting from the left or r

The LEFT and RIGHT functions are like shorthand versions of the MID function. The LEFT function extracts te
of the string and RIGHT function extracts text starting from the end of the string.

Formula: =LEFT(text,num_chars)
Formula: =RIGHT(text,num_chars)

☆ REGEXREPLACE: Replace text using a Regular Expression

The new REGEX… functions (REGEXTEST, REGEXREPLACE, REGEXEXTRACT) are powerful new functio
the power of regular expressions.
 Example: Remove all non-alphanumeric characters

Formula: =REGEXREPLACE(text,"[^a-zA-Z0-9]","")

Example: Replace all alphanumeric characters with *

Formula: =REGEXREPLACE(text,"[a-zA-Z0-9]","*")

Example: Replace all but the last 4 digits with *

Formula: =REGEXREPLACE(text,".(?=.{4})","*")

Other Examples: Ask ChatGPT or CoPilot

Prompt: How to I use REGEXREPLACE to remove all non-alphanumeric characters, except for spaces

☆ Count the number of spaces in a text string

You can use this technique to count other characters besides spaces. Just substitute " " with "," or ";" to count
or semi-colons for example.

Formula: =LEN(text)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text," ",""))

LAMBDA: =L_COUNTCHAR(char,within_text)

See the lambda function "L_COUNTCHAR" in the Vertex42 Lambda Library

☆ Count the number of occurrences of a string within a string

 If you want to count the number of occurrences of a string within a string, then you can use a slightly modified
formula. In this case, you'll need to divide the result by the length of string.

Formula: =(LEN(text) -
LEN( SUBSTITUTE(text,string","") ) ) /
LEN(string)

LAMBDA: =L_COUNTCHAR(text,within_text)

See the lambda function "L_COUNTCHAR" in the Vertex42 Lambda Library

☆ Extract a First Name

To extract the first word or name from a text string, you can use the LEFT function and then use FIND to retur
space. Subtracting 1 gives you the number of characters in the first word or name.

Extract a First Name

Formula: =LEFT(text,FIND(" ",text)-1)

It a space is not found, FIND will return an error, so you can wrap the formula with ISERROR to return the full
are found, like this:

Formula: =IFERROR( LEFT(text,FIND(" ",text)-1), text)

Office 365! Using the new TEXTBEFORE function

Formula: =TEXTBEFORE(text," ",)

Use [match_end]=1 to return "Tom" if no space.

Office 365! Using the new TEXTSPLIT function

Formula: =INDEX( TEXTSPLIT( text,," "),1)
(returns the first value in the array returned by TEXTSPLIT)
 Office 365! Using the new REGEXEXTRACT function
Formula: =REGEXEXTRACT( text, "^\w+")
(returns the first "word")

☆ Extract Text After the First Space

To return the text after the first space, you can use the RIGHT function and then calculate the length of the las
FIND(" ",text). If a name only contains a first and last name, this would return the last name, but if it is a name
it will return "Allen Smith".

Formula: =RIGHT(text,LEN(text)-FIND(" ",text))

Using the MID function instead of RIGHT

Formula: =MID(text,FIND(" ",text)+1,9999999)

Office 365! Using the new TEXTAFTER function

Formula: =TEXTAFTER(text," ")

Office 365! Using the new REGEXEXTRACT function

Formula: =REGEXEXTRACT( text, " (?<= )(.+)")

☆ Extract the Last Name

 The return the last name in a string when there may be more than two names, we replace FIND(" ",text) with t
space. To do that, first count the number of spaces using the formula mentioned above, then SUBSTITUTE th
another special character and use FIND to get the position of that special character. You can use any characte
be in the name. The example below uses the "!" character.

Extract a Last Name

Formula: =IFERROR( RIGHT(text,LEN(text)-
FIND("!",SUBSTITUTE(text," ","!",LEN(text)-
LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text," ",""))))), "")

I've wrapped the formula with IFERROR because if the name contains no spaces, I assume the name is only a
the empty string "". You could instead use IFERROR to return the original text value instead of "".

Office 365! The TEXTAFTER function makes this much simpler! The cool thing is that this function has an "
built in, so the following formula does the same thing as above.

Formula: =TEXTAFTER(text," ",-1,,,"")

Office 365! Using REGEXEXTRACT

Formula: =REGEXEXTRACT( text, "\b\w+$")

☆ Return the Nth word in a string

This function is really crazy, but useful. Basically what is going on is that you replace the delimiter with a bunch
that you create a new text string that can be divided into chunks, where each chunk contains a different word.
space surrounding each word, so you use TRIM to remove it.

Formula: =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(text,delimeter,REPT("
",LEN(text))),(word-1)*LEN(text)+1,LEN(text)))
 =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(text,delimeter,REPT("
",LEN(text))),(word-1)*LEN(text)+1,LEN(text)))

Office 365! The TEXTSPLIT function makes this much simpler! TEXTSPLIT will convert a text string into an
then pick the nth column.

Formula: =INDEX(TEXTSPLIT(text,,row_delim),row_num)

LAMBDA: v42_textGetNthWord
=v42_textGetNthWord(text,delimiter,n)

☆ Convert a Text String to an Array of Words

Want to convert "One#Two#Three" into an array like {"One";"Two";"Three"} that can be used within array form
the formula in the previous tip and replace "word" with the following:

Formula: word = ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&((LEN(text)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text,delimiter,"")))/LEN(delimite

The final formula will look like this:

Formula: =TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(text,delimieter, REPT(" ",LEN(text))), (ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&((LEN

LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text,delimiter,"")))/LEN(delimiter)+1))) -1) * LEN(text)+1, LEN(text)))

To display the results within an array of cells, remember to use Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Use TRANSPOSE if you wan
of this formula in a row instead of a column.
