  • Hi. Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a problem. Please can you help me how to extract/generate 4-letter name from a list of names? Thank you.

  • @identity4free How do you want to generate the 4-letter name? Just message me on here and I can help you from there.

  • let me start by saying this is an excellent example. I'm trying to use this formula to solve a problem with a column pre-filled with about 200 addresses. If I understand how this formula works, it would only make sense if number of spaces were exactly the same. I'm trying to separate physical address, city, state and zip. Can you do an example with different addresses?

  • there are a lot of different ways to separate data from cells and it can get very complicated depending on what you're doing. You can send me a message on here with an example of what you're trying to do and I can help you with that but without knowing what you need the data separated by, it will be hard to make a tutorial useful for you.

see all
