How to Use TAKE Function in Excel #shorts

You’re going to love the new TAKE function in Microsoft Excel! It lets you dynamically take the parts of a data set (rows or columns) you need. Basically you can use a function to keep the rows you need and discard the rest. In this video I’ll show you how it works.

The TAKE function in Excel is a useful tool for extracting a specified number of characters from a text string. It allows you to extract a portion of a text string based on the number of characters you specify. For example, if you have a text string “ABC123” and you want to extract the first three characters, you can use the TAKE function to do it.

The syntax for the TAKE function is: TAKE(text, num_chars). The first argument is the text string, and the second argument is the number of characters you want to extract.

For example, if you want to extract the first three characters from “ABC123”, you would use the following formula:

=TAKE("ABC123",3)

The result of this formula would be “ABC”.

The TAKE function is a great way to quickly extract a portion of a text string without having to write a lengthy formula. It can be especially useful if you need to extract a specific number of characters from a large text string.
