Dear All,

 

Another question I have is how to convert text data into excel data using specific data (the data I take is only data related to "excess"). I also attach an example of text data and the results of the report.

Dear @atcodedog05

 

Amazing, thank you for your quick response.

 

I'm learning the steps you gave... although it's a little confusing. There is a slight revision, I added 2 data to the text file and then to retrieve the data below, how do I do it?

Dear @atcodedog05 ,

 

amazing .... done ...

 

When should I use the regex function with a formula like this "([\w\s\-]+\w)\s.*\s([\d\.]+)\s\*\*"? and When to utilize different formulas for different problems? 

 

Can you explain the formulas, or do you know of a place where I can learn the formulas with simple explanations?

 

I'm grateful for your assistance thus far ..
