Elevate your Excel skills with this informative tutorial, perfect for anyone looking to handle complex text transformations effortlessly. Discover the power of Power Query (Get & Transform) in Excel, a tool that simplifies what would otherwise be complicated tasks using formulas.
⬇️ Download the Workbook: pages.xelplus....
Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn:
Overview of Text Transformation Challenges: Understand common problems like separating words by delimiters, splitting columns based on logic, and extracting specific text parts, such as numbers from strings.
Power Query vs. Excel Formulas: Learn why Power Query often becomes a more efficient choice over traditional Excel formulas, especially for complex tasks.
Step-by-Step Demonstrations: Follow practical examples that include splitting department and position data into separate columns, extracting employee numbers with specific formats, and dividing full names into first and last names with proper capitalization.
Using Power Query Functions: Get familiar with Power Query features like 'Split Column', 'Extract', and 'Add Prefix', which make text transformations a breeze.
Dynamic Data Updating: See how Power Query allows for easy updates to your data transformations, saving time and effort in managing ongoing data changes.
Final Data Refresh Demonstration: Watch a live demonstration of adding new data to the table and refreshing the query to apply all transformations seamlessly.
Discover the EASIEST way to perform text transformations in Excel. Power Query is the perfect tool for you to solve these tasks that can be quite complicated with just Excel formulas.
Usually, solving these transformations in Excel are NOT an easy task. If you want to do any of the following with Excel formulas, things can get scary very fast:
Separate words in Excel by a delimiter
Split a column in Excel based on a certain logic in multiple columns
Separate text from numbers in a cell
Extract numbers from the middle of a text string
Extract text after a specific character in Excel
In this tutorial I'll show you how you can use Power Query to perform some common text transformation tasks. See for yourself how easy these tasks become with some basic Power Query understanding.

HI, I was just wondering Why I am not havin several options in my SPLIT COLOUMN function in Power Query. I use Office 2019
Thank you beforehand :)
You make the difficult things in Excel easy to understand and you always present it in a professional way 👍
So it's always magical when watching your Excel videos, Leila 😊
So nice of you! Thank you.
Your videos are so super easy to follow. In fact, even if the audio is muted, it is easy to follow. I eagerly wait for your videos each week. Thx a lot.
Thank you so much 😀
Long time back, I was tackling this problem via formula, it took me two days and result in total failure.
Never thought it is as easy as this.
Thank you very much Liela...
Power Query can be your best friend for tasks like this :)
Not sure why it would be difficult using function. Yes, with power query it's most simple, but even with functions it's not difficult (especially this problem) if our logic is clear with functions.
Bonjour Leila. Again, thank you for all your excel lessons. I have been following them about a week ago, and have learnt so much. Every day I look up your tutorials and practice them. It's been most educational.
Merci beaucoup. Greetings from France.
Wonderful Ann! Avec plaisir :)
Hi dear Leila, I already completed the power query course with someone else. BUT the way you teach is so clear and concise. I am so grateful for the lessons that you taught me.
You're very welcome!

Thank you Leila. I learn so much from you. I was having a hard time trying to extract text from a spreadsheet. Thanks to your video I was able to do it and I learned something new, Power Query, thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good Leila, great tips and thanks for the spreadsheet available. Thank you.
My pleasure Luciano!
Power Query is a game changer. Once I learnt it, I only used formulas for quick and dirty analysis. Anything long term, it's all on Power Query
You are amazing Leila, You can't imagine how this Video is very important to millions of users .. thanks thanks thanks a lot ..
Glad you think so!
Your timing of this video is the same as your fashion sense, IMPECCABLE! I have a data set similar to the one in the video and these techniques will simplify my task.
Btw pink looks good on you.
Glad the timing and choice of clothes was appreciated 😊
This just blew my mind. Great work.
Glad you liked it!
So useful! I did exactly the same thing today with Macros but it's way easier with Get and Transform. Thank you!
It really is!
Always delivering new stuff from what i know. Thanks and keep it up
Incredible!! As soon as I finish the Dynamic Array course (which I am enjoying immensely), I will take this course. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching us in such a clear way. You make the difficult easy by carefully explaining why and how.
That's great Gary! I'm happy you like the Dynamic Arrays course so far.
My wife looked at this last evening and she was equally impressed (she watched the whole thing, which surprised me, but that is how good a teacher you are). She is interested in taking one of your earlier courses and since I am a long way from being a guru I am also interested. Since the earlier courses are from an earlier date, are they still relevant with some of the new Excel updates? We are not advanced, but we also use Excel enough that we are fairly familiar with it. However, sometimes one thinks they know more than they do - would you have a recommendation?
I have a little quiz on my website. If you answer a few questions it will recommend a course. In case you're interested here is the link: www.xelplus.com/quiz-which-excel-course-fits-best/

Very true Mike! So do your tutorials on Power Query : )
I found Power query a few months ago it transformed how I work once I realised how easy it is to use within the same workbook - initially I was only using it to get outside data. Great video - and nice to see you in your more "normal" video setting

I used Text to column with similar tasks. However for number in middle I would have to use left function after applying text to column. Unfortunately I will have to continue that practice since my office PC doesn't have office 2016.
Love it, thanks
