Discover the EASIEST way to perform text transformations in Excel. Power Query is the perfect tool for you to solve these tasks that can be quite complicated with just Excel formulas.

Usually, solving these transformations in Excel are NOT an easy task. If you want to do any of the following with Excel formulas, things can get scary very fast:
- Separate words in Excel by a delimiter
- Split a column in Excel based on a certain logic in multiple columns
- Separate text from numbers in a cell
- Extract numbers from the middle of a text string
- Extract text after a specific character in Excel

But fortunately you have another option: Power Query aka Get and Transform. With this magic tool you can achieve this by just clicking a few buttons. And if this was not already enough there is another upside: Once you've setup the logic in Power Query, when new data comes in all you have to do is to click Refresh. And you're done!

In this tutorial I'll show you how you can use Power Query to perform some common text transformation tasks. See for yourself how easy these tasks become with some basic Power Query understanding.
