TEXTBEFORE & TEXTAFTER Function in Excel 365

Demonstrate the newer function in Excel 365 and forget the old "LEFT," "RIGHT," and the combo with the "FIND" function. TEXTBEFORE & TEXTAFTER are newly available features in the Excel 365 version. Can easily use these functions with the few arguments. Now we've not needed to write the oldest functions to find the first, mid & last value of the data. So let's talk about the latest features available right now.



The TEXTBEFORE function is the most useful feature in Excel 365. Here we can use this function to find out the first value of the data with few delimiters (depends on what we want to choose the specified characters). In the older function where we used the left function with the help of the mid function. So let's see the syntax in the below.



The TEXTBEFORE syntax is here:

=TEXTBEFORE(text, delimiter, [instance_num], [match_mode], [match_end], [if_not_found])

(Allowing you to specify which occurrence of the delimiter to use (e.g., the second one) or provide a value if the delimiter isn't found)

text: The particular cell from which to extract text (e.g., A1).

delimiter: The character to find before the comma and spaces. (e.g., ",", " ", or "/")

instance_num: The optional condition, where not applicable.

match_mode: The optional condition, where not applicable.

match_end: The optional condition, where not applicable.

if_not_found: The optional condition, what returns the value if the delimiter isn't found.




The TEXTAFTER function is the most useful function in Excel 365. Where we can use this feature to find out the last value or mid-value (depending on what we want to choose the specified characters). The time is to forget one of the oldest ("RIGHT") functions. So let's see the syntax of this function right below.



The TEXTAFTER function syntax is here:

=TEXTAFTER(text, delimiter, [instance_num], [match_mode], [match_end], [if_not_found])

(It's allowing you to find after the first, last (using negative instance), or any specific occurrence of a delimiter like a comma, space or slash.)

text: The cell to search withing (e.g., A1)

delimiter: The character or text to find after the comma or space. (e.g., "," or " ")

instance_num: The optional condition, where not applicable.

match_mode: The optional condition, where not applicable.

match_end: The optional condition, where not applicable.

if_not_found: The optional condition, what returns the value if the delimiter is not found.
