TEXT.SELECT -My Custom Excel Function
I would like to talk to you about one of my favorite Excel Functions that I created with the help of LAMBDA
If you always need to separate/extract the components of a cell so that you can use each part separately, then I think this formula will be useful for you.
http://text.select/
This formula allows the user to select a specific piece of text from a cell (in the same way as the http://text.select/ in PowerQuery).
It consists of 4 main parts
=http://text.select/ ( MixedText , Select , Space , Keep)
➡MIXEDTEXT : Select the Cell
➡SELECT :
Type 1 for Numbers
Type 2 f or English Letters
Type 3 for Uppercase English Letters
Type 4 for Lowercase English Letters
Type 5 for Other Languages (Some languages are still not supported)
➡SPACE :
Type 1 to Keep the Space
Skip this part if you want to ignore the space
➡Keep :
In this part , if you want to keep Non-alphanumeric type them like this {".";"@";"-"} between Quotations and separated by the semicolon.
If you want to ignore this part , then type ""
Example #1:
in this example I am showing how to extract :Number, All Letters , Uppercase Letters , Lowercase Letters and any other language if found
Example #2:
How to Extract emails with all its components like [ @ , . , - , _ ]
Example #3:
How to Extract emails and any text in different (and as I mentioned Some languages are still not supported) carefully notice that ,It is possible to find a space between sentences, and it is also possible not to find one. So, TEXT.SELECT handles this easily..
WHAT DO YOU THINK ? IS IT USEFUL ? WOULD IT SAVE TIME?
