    Hi Chris (long time no see but I notice you have lots of subjects of interest to me) Thankyou for clarifying the Left with Find. I press F4 three times to lock in the column reference. Text before is easy when available. Flash fill sometimes has to be temporarily segregated from the column to its left to stop it coming up with ridiculous updates to its result.

    This was Great!! I had to use two formulas the FLASHFILL and I used TEXTAFTER because I had to separate street number and street name on a file that was sent to me with that info in one cell but teh CSV template for uploading to a specific program required the number and name to be in two columns. The list has over 2000 addresses so I needed a way to fix this easily. So Thank you for this very helpful tip!

    Hi Chris. Nice video. I watched your video and did a quick check on the formula only to find that TEXTSPLIT even works better than the LEFT (FIND) function.

    Great video as always. Though I have 365 I often find myself doing things in the old-school way, seems muscle memory takes over then find myself redoing the formula using the newer functions available. I would also often use Power Query to prepare data for a report - that way I can do whatever is required for the report and leave the original data unchanged the choice of method depending on the task requirements.
