Excel - 3 Cool methods to extract text from the beginning of a text string

Описание: We frequently need to extract part of a text string in Microsoft Excel. We are going to extract the first part of a text string. Examples of text string parts you would extract include product numbers, employee IDs, and accounting numbers. For example, the product number GA-205-Atl or the accounting number 0012346-00123.

Flash fill, the left function combined with the Find function, and finally, a great function in Excel called Textbefore.
