hello everyone welcome back to our
0:03
Channel if you're new here uh this is
0:05
Exel whis and today we are diving into
0:07
something super exciting that is using
0:10
the AI extract function in Excel whether
0:13
you're a data analyst or just a student
0:15
or someone who just loves working with
0:18
spreadsheets this powerful AI tool can
0:20
save you a ton of time and effort so in
0:23
the next couple of minutes I'll walk you
0:25
through how to use AI extract function
0:28
step by step showing you a real life
0:30
example and tips along the way so grab
0:33
your Excel files and let's get started
0:38
together a I extract works the same as
0:42
flash F in the normal way that we use
0:45
Exel uh an example is when you let's
0:49
take this example that we have here we
0:51
have our first names our last names and
0:54
a column of combined this is where you
0:56
can just type in Let's uh say using this
1:00
example we can type in
1:03
William Ruto and then just select select
1:08
your cell and then contrl e and you'll
1:12
have then your
1:15
names combined all your names combined
1:18
at the same time so this is how you do
1:22
it normally with Flash Fill but in this
1:24
example we are going to I'll going I'm
1:27
going to show you how to use the AI
1:29
extract to get similar results but this
1:31
one is a bit easier and a bit faster so
1:35
you may opt out to use this so let's get
1:38
started the very first thing that you
1:40
need to do you have to ensure that your
1:43
Exel has chart GPT for Exel I've
1:46
explained this in a different video if
1:48
you don't know how to do that please go
1:51
back and watch one of our videos showing
1:53
this and then come back and continue
1:55
with this video once you've done
1:58
that once you've done that the next
2:01
thing that you'll come and do is for
2:03
this particular example we have our
2:06
names and a couple of sentences here
2:09
that contains different names so we have
2:12
our outputs on the right side and we
2:15
just want to extract the names that is
2:17
William Ruto Joe Biden Kamar Harris and
2:20
the rest we only need to extract the
2:22
names and nothing else so if we were
2:25
using the flash field we'll just come
2:28
here and uh like we did earlier type in
2:31
William
2:32
Bruto and then just uh select the cell
2:36
and control
2:38
e see since we are missing some values
2:41
or just highlight it
2:44
and select it and
2:48
drop contr e once you do contrl e you
2:52
see this time around it's not working as
2:55
it was here because we don't have any
2:57
more data it will just give you the same
2:59
name over and over but this is not what
3:02
we want to
3:07
do so what we need to do is just use the
3:11
AI extract to be able to extract just
3:15
the name so what you need to do just
3:17
type in the AI extract ai. extract
3:20
formula you have it as the third choice
3:24
so click on it and then you have this
3:27
formula AI do extract you have to need
3:30
to have the value that you're extracting
3:33
your information from and the extract is
3:36
the exact thing that you need to extract
3:39
or to put in your sheet so our value in
3:42
this particular case is uh
3:46
this it's this information that you've
3:49
typed in here so you select it uh type
3:52
in comma and then your extract now in
3:55
this particular case is names click on
3:58
names and close your parenthe this is
4:00
and hit enter chpt will do its thing and
4:04
as you can see you have your names
4:06
William rutto Joe Biden Kamara Harris
4:08
Michelle Obama Jan Clinton and Hillary
4:11
white all of them combined just as we
4:14
used the flash fi on the right side here
4:17
so as you can see it's that easy just
4:21
you just need to know the value you just
4:24
need to select the value the range of
4:26
the value where your names or whatever
4:29
thing that that you need to be extracted
4:31
is and just to show you that you can
4:35
actually extract more information we'll
4:38
get we'll move on uh to this other
4:40
example where we have a couple of emails
4:43
here there are different emails so we
4:47
just come here in an empty cell click AI
4:51
the formula ai. extract it's the third
4:54
one just click on it as we said earlier
4:58
you select the range of your values
5:00
where your values are are click comma
5:04
and then select the extract what do you
5:07
need extracted from the range of values
5:10
that you've currently selected at this
5:12
particular point you only need the
5:14
emails so close your parenthesis and hit
5:17
enter and chat TPT will do it
5:20
thing as you can see we have chip has
5:24
extracted all our emails and by this the
5:28
third email Kamara tre.com this is not
5:31
an email this is why chpt has written
5:34
that it's not found so what you can do
5:37
you can just go back to your the range
5:40
of your values and correct that email
5:43
and you'll get the exact values that you
5:46
need so this is what you just need to do
5:49
it's that simple it's just a similar way
5:52
of us rather than using the flash Feld
5:55
you just use ai. extract so if you have
