Need to extract clean data from messy lists in Excel? Learn how to isolate everything before a comma using one simple function.
This Excel video is for people who already know a bit about Excel but want to learn a specific skill.
It's about using a function called TEXTBEFORE to easily extract text that appears before a certain character or phrase.
This is particularly useful when you have a list of information and you want to grab the part before a comma.
Before this function, it was more complicated to do this in older versions of Excel.
The video explains how to use TEXTBEFORE, how to deal with cases where the character you're looking for isn't found, and also mentions that this function is available in newer versions of Excel like Microsoft 365, Excel 365 for Mac, and Excel for the web.
