How do I use regex to extract 2 pieces of info , for eg. if I have to tracking numbers how to I extract both of them if they both start with same “Tracking #”.

[@CarlDoesMusic]

Is there any formula that can split/divide data of one row in to multiple rows, keeping the text data same and divide the values depending on some percentages?

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

SPLIT function?

[@gustavorotondaro6611]

Thank you for the video! Question...how can you extract multiple words from a cell. For instance, If I had a cell containing "Company X Information Technology and Data Services" and I'd like to extract only the following words: "X", "Technology", "Data Services" - how can I do this? Thanks in advance!

[@tridsonline]

That's a very specific pattern! You're basically saying that "Company _ Information _ and _" is fixed, it will always be there. If that's really the case, then the pattern would be.. "Company (\w+) Information (\w+) and (.+)$" .. this would yield your output in 3 adjacent cells, beginning with the cell containing the formula. More versatile would be .. "Company (.+) Information (.+) and (.+)$" .. which would handle multi-word companies (eg: instead of just a single word company "X", it would handle "Dell Computers". Or "International Business Machines" etc)

how do you pull the characters between brackets [ ] ? For example, when I get Google Form data, the survey questions have the names of different options I gave in brackets like [Option 1] and [Option 2]

[@supa.scoopa]

i'd use a formula with textbefore and textafter (but i'm a noob)

[@appleship4369]

URGENT PLEASE: how can i do to add a word and a slash like this (/hi) to a found regex? i need this "/hi" before this regex \b\w{5,5}\b . if someone puts a name with 5 characters in it it must find that 5 characters name witch it does but it has also to add /hi infront of it as a result when it finds it

Is there a way to extract text from the end of a string? I'm looking to extract the handle of a URL.

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Please provide an example

[@naomipena6318]

@@ExcelGoogleSheets I'm trying to extract the last digits of a link where that handle is equal to a 'Product ID' number. Since the links have several "/", it's difficult to extract just the very end of the string followed by the last "/". I.e. the link is website/product-page/12345 but I only need "12345".

[@kevinyang9484]

Hi! These videos have been a huge help but I recently ran into a small problem. For example if I had a column containing things like "product-1-description x1, product-2-description x2, so on so forth," and my goal is to convert them to "product 1 x1, product 2 x2, etc.," how would I do that. Im new to regex but I can successfully find/replace "product-1-description x1" into "product 1 x1." But everything after that gets deleted. Is there a way to insert a regular expression for that comma so that the following terms get replaced as well?

[@sodaa2489]

Hi, Did you find the answer to this problem? If you did, can you share? I am trying to work around a similar problem

Hi, I have one issue with REGEXEXTRACT. I want to match and extract the exact word. If I use the below formula, it will display the result “Sing,” but I want it to display “NA.” Because the source cell i.e A1 cell does not have the “Sing” word but it has the word "Singapore". =regexextract(A1,”(?i)Sing”) So, how can we extract the exact match instead of the partial match? Thanks & Regards, Vineet

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

Incomplete question. Bring several examples of what should and shouldn't match,

[@ExcelGoogleSheets]

this should work =REGEXREPLACE(A1,".*:","")

You'll need a custom VBA function. Otherwise it doesn't exist in Excel.

I don't know why, but it doesn't work! even the 1st example formula, the result is "Formula parse error." I have received this message even with a copy-paste in a google sheet of the goole guide support.google.com/docs/answer/3098244?hl=it, and I'm receiving anyway the same result: "Formula parse error." Does anyone have a suggestion?
