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.com/transform-t...
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.

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.

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?
