MS Excel Functinos (LEFT, MID, RIGHT, LEN, MID+LEN)

 

Left, Mid, Right, Len Functions

Hello guys! In this post I'm gonna write about some basic functions of Excel i.e. left, right, mid, len & mid+len. Normally they look really simple. But they can be of great use if you know how to combine them with other functions . . . 

 

In this tutorial I'm not gonna discuss about complex use of these functions. I will simply show you the basic use of them. Hopefully next time you will see the advanced use of these functions. 

 

Excel sheet with left, mid, right, len functions

Let's start with the image above. There are mainly 04 formulas i.e. Left, Mid, Right & Len. And the next 02 are combinations of Mid and Len functions. 

I've tried to explain every formula in this image. I guess nothing is ambiguous with these 04 functions. 

You might be confused with the combinations. In the 1st combination the 02 functions are simply merged. 

But in the 2nd combination you should notice that len function is not used. Instead we've used the len column i.e. G2. That is the difference. 1st combination requires to merge len function with mid. It doesn't require any other column. But 2nd combination is using a different len column instead of merging len function with the mid. 


Well I'm not interested to discuss any longer. I've uploaded the project file. You can download it from here -

Joining Texts from Multiple Cells in Excel

  Programs like MS Excel is full of functions. There are many useful functions that we don't use or we don't know about. One of them is CONCATENATE. It means joining or linking. With this function you can join texts from multiple cells. Let's see how . . . Suppose you're working in an Excel Worksheet where you need to combine texts from different cells. I'm gonna show you an example. Let's consider the image below -    What do you see ? I've imputed First Name and Last Name. In Full Name column I've used the formula i.e. CONCATENATE. And in the last column I've added Mr. with the full name.    So how do you use this formula ? Here it is -  =CONCATENATE(A2," ",B2) Observe it carefully. You can add more than 02 cells with this functions. Here I've just used 02 cells. You may think what is this " " for ? You may notice that there is a space between the two i.e. " & ".  If you don't use " " then you...
