Text management is essentially about two things:
1: to break out text (extract),

Extraction of text in Excel:

This means that, through a formula, pick a certain part of the text content in a cell.
We assume that cell A1 contains the text “sirapslimpa”.

Formula Result
LEFT(A1;5) “syrup”, i.e., the five characters vänstersta
RIGHT(A1;6) “clean”, i.e., the first five characters High
MID(A1;7;3) “lim”, ie three characters fr o m the seventh character

The Swedish version is called the Excel instead LEFT, RIGHT and MID.

Furthermore, you can conjure with uppercase and lowercase letters.
We assume that cell A1 contains the text “Donald Duck”.

Formula Result
UPPER(A1) “DONALD DUCK”

The Swedish version is called the Excel instead CAPITALS, LOWER and INITIAL.
