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.
