When you have both text and numbers in an Excel cell, extracting or analyzing them can be a headache. Manually copying and pasting or using a calculator to add up values feels outdated. With the right formulas, you can automate these tasks efficiently! For example, if Xiao Yuan's spending amount is 200, use the formula =RIGHT(A2, 2*LEN(A2)-LENB(A2)) in cell A3 to extract it easily. This formula retrieves characters from the right side of a string based on its length. To extract text when numbers are on the left (e.g., 'Xiao Yuan'), input =LEFT(A2,LEN(A2)-(LEN(A2)2-LENB(A2))) into cell A4 for quick results. Lastly, to calculate total spending across multiple consumers in one cell, use =SUMPRODUCT(RIGHT(A2:F2, 2LEN(A2:F2)-LENB(A2:F2))*1) which sums all extracted amounts automatically.
