Discover key Excel text functions including LEFT, RIGHT, MID, LEN, LOWER, UPPER, and REPT. These functions allow you to manipulate text strings efficiently, helping you extract specific characters, count character lengths, convert case, and repeat texts. The LEFT function extracts the first characters based on your specifications, while the RIGHT function retrieves the last characters. MID allows for extracting text from any position.

  1. LEFT • LEFT returns the first character or characters in a text string, based on the number of characters you specify. • Syntax • LEFT(text,num_chars)

  2. LEN • LEN returns the number of characters in a text string. • Syntax • LEN(text)

  3. LOWER • Converts all uppercase letters in a text string to lowercase. • Syntax • LOWER(text) • Text     is the text you want to convert to lowercase. LOWER does not change characters in text that are not letters.

  4. UPPER • Converts text to uppercase. • Syntax • UPPER(text) • Text     is the text you want converted to uppercase. Text can be a reference or text string.

  5. REPT • Repeats text a given number of times. Use REPT to fill a cell with a number of instances of a text string. • Syntax • REPT(text,number_times) • Text     is the text you want to repeat. • Number_times     is a positive number specifying the number of times to repeat text.

  6. RIGHT • RIGHT returns the last character or characters in a text string, based on the number of characters you specify. • Syntax • RIGHT(text,num_chars) • Text     is the text string containing the characters you want to extract. • Num_chars     specifies the number of characters you want RIGHT to extract.

  7. MID • MID returns a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at the position you specify, based on the number of characters you specify. • Syntax • MID(text,start_num,num_chars) • Text     is the text string containing the characters you want to extract. • Start_num     is the position of the first character you want to extract in text. The first character in text has start_num 1, and so on. • Num_chars     specifies the number of characters you want MID to return from text
