Corporate datasets mein text parsing aur data cleaning ka primary foundation.
=LEFT(text, [num_chars])
// =LEFT("EXCEL365", 5) --> "EXCEL"
// =LEFT("EMP1025", 3) --> "EMP"
=RIGHT(text, [num_chars])
// =RIGHT("EXCEL365", 3) --> "365"
// =RIGHT("EMP1025", 4) --> "1025"
=MID(text, start_num, num_chars)
// =MID("EXCEL365", 2, 3) --> "XCE"
// =MID("EMP1025", 4, 4) --> "1025"
[!IMPORTANT] Excel mein character indexing hamesha 1 se start hoti hai, 0 se nahi!
Total characters count karta hai (spaces aur symbols include hote hain):
=LEN("EXCEL") --> 5
=LEN("Excel 365") --> 9 (Space is counted!)
Data Validation Rule:
=IF(LEN(A2) = 10, "Valid Mobile Number", "Check Length")
=TRIM(text): Ordinary spaces (ASCII 32) ke leading, trailing aur repeated spaces ko single space banata hai.=TRIM(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(A1, CHAR(160), " ")))
EMP1025 se prefix EMP aur numeric id 1025 alag karein using LEFT aur RIGHT.=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2, CHAR(160), " ")) se clean karein.Practice live Excel formulas directly in your browser. Real calculation verified by HyperFormula.
