Basic String Manipulation

Left: Use this to get the x characters from the left side.

LEFT(string, extract length)


Right: Use this to get the x characters from the right side.

RIGHT(string, extract length)


Mid: Use this to get the x characters in the middle

MID(string, starting_at, extract_length)


Len: Use this to see how many characters are in a specific cell

LEN(text)

Advanced String Manipulation

Combining Mid and Len to get data that may not always be the same length due to unique data

=MID(string,LEN(“Repeatable Phrase in String“),extract length)
