How to use REGEXEXTRACT to extract data from an XML file imported into Google Sheets?

edit

To extract data from an XML file imported into Google Sheets using REGEXEXTRACT, follow these steps:

1. Import the XML file into a Google Sheet using the IMPORTXML function. This function will pull the XML data into the sheet.

2. Use the REGEXEXTRACT function to extract the desired data from the imported XML. The function takes two arguments: the text to search and the regular expression to use.

3. Write a regular expression that will match the data you want to extract. The regular expression should be specific enough to match only the desired data.

4. Use the REGEXEXTRACT function to apply the regular expression to the imported XML data. The function will return the extracted data.

For example, if you want to extract the title of a book from an XML file, you could use the following formula:

=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,"<title>(.*)</title>")

Where A1 is the cell containing the imported XML data. The regular expression "<title>(.*)</title>" will match any text between the <title> tags and extract it as the book title.
