Text Functions ka use raw corporate data ko clean, extract, aur standardize karne ke liye hota hai.
LEFT text ke left side se specified characters extract karta hai.
=LEFT(text, [num_chars])
=LEFT("EXCEL2024", 5) → EXCEL=LEFT("PRD-4589", 3) → PRDnum_chars omit karein to default 1 character return hota hai.[!NOTE] Agar
num_charstext ki total length se zyada ho, to Excel poora text return karta hai. Negative number dene par#VALUE!error aata hai.
RIGHT text ke right side se characters extract karta hai.
=RIGHT(text, [num_chars])
=RIGHT("EXCEL2024", 4) → 2024=RIGHT("INV-987654", 6) → 987654MID text ke kisi specified starting position se characters extract karta hai.
=MID(text, start_num, num_chars)
=MID("EXCEL2024", 2, 3) → XCE=MID("EMP-2026-105", 5, 4) → 2026[!IMPORTANT] Excel mein character indexing hamesha 1 se shuru hoti hai, 0 se nahi!
Text mein total characters count karta hai (spaces aur symbols included).
=LEN("Excel") --> 5
=LEN("Excel 2024") --> 10
Practical Rule (Length Validation):
=IF(LEN(A2)=10, "Valid Mobile Number", "Check Digits")
Text ke leading, trailing extra spaces remove karta hai aur words ke beech multiple spaces ko single space mein convert karta hai.
=TRIM(" Aman Kumar ") --> "Aman Kumar"
[!TIP] TRIM ASCII code 32 (ordinary space) ko clean karta hai. Web ya ERP se imported non-breaking space (code 160) ko clean karne ke liye:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2, CHAR(160), " "))
INV-2026-99 likhein aur prefix INV alag karein =LEFT(A2, 3).2026 nikaalein =MID(A2, 5, 4).99 nikaalein =RIGHT(A2, 2).=TRIM(A2) se clean karein.Practice live Excel formulas directly in your browser. Real calculation verified by HyperFormula.
