Regex, or regular expressions, is now available in Excel beta version! This makes it SO much easier to search, match, and manipulate text. (note: currently not all beta users have access. Microsoft is slowly rolling these out.)

With regex, you can quickly find all email addresses in a list, reformat dates, or correct typos in a large dataset. You can extract phone numbers from text or change the format of thousands of rows with just a few clicks.

In this video we'll cover two new Excel functions:
▶ REGEXEXTRACT: This Excel function extracts specific text from a string using patterns called regular expressions (regex). It can find and pull the first match, all matches, or parts of the first match.
▶ REGEXREPLACE: This Excel function lets you replace parts of a text string using patterns called regular expressions (regex). This is useful for cleaning up data or making consistent changes across a dataset.
