See the ‘winter’ example on Row 13 above. Note: the delimiter characters are removed from the result, which is normally what you’d want but is worth keeping in mind. This is optional but another annoying double-negative. This feature is defaulted to FALSE, which won’t create an empty cell. – if you specify TRUE, you will create an empty cell when two delimiters are consecutive.– this is one or more characters that specify where to spill the text down rows.This is optional, leave it empty if you want to split down a column. – this is one or more characters that specify where to spill the text across columns.Input_Text – this is the text you want to split.TextSplit() is the opposite of the existing TEXTJOIN function already in Excel. And TextSplit() can work down by rows as well as across columns., If this seems familiar, it’s because TextSplit() is same as the Text-To-Columns wizard in Excel, but as a formula instead. Note to Microsoft – could you please avoid these kinds of ‘double-negative’ options. This option is defaulted as TRUE which means the search is NOT case sensitive. – you can specify FALSE to make the search case-sensitive.A negative number starts searching input_text from the end. – the nth instance of text_before that you want to extract.text_after – this is the text that marks the point after which you want to extract.

text_before – this is the text that marks the point before which you want to extract.input_text – this is the text you are searching within wildcard characters are not allowed.=TEXTAFTER(input_text, text_after,, ) Arguments =TEXTBEFORE(input_text,text_before,, ) TEXTAFTER Syntax

These two are a lot simpler than combining Left() or Right() functions with Search() to find the split position in the string.

TEXTAFTER – Returns text that’s after the specified delimiting characters.

TEXTBEFORE – Returns text that’s before the specified delimiting characters.

If you want to extract text from the beginning or end of a cell’s content, Excel has introduced two different functions that will basically return everything before or after a specified delimiter.
