Split, Extract, and Categorize Data Lesson cover

What this Lesson covers

Turn repeated note patterns into usable fields while keeping ambiguous text available for review.

Lesson outline

  1. Separate extraction from interpretation
  2. Keep unclear meaning open
  3. Inspect the derived fields

Learning outcomes

  • Separate extraction from interpretation
  • Preserve raw text
  • Use controlled categories
  • Keep uncertainty visible

Information often arrives packed into one text column: an order code, a region, and a short request separated by symbols. AI can help recognize the repeated pattern, write extraction formulas, and apply a controlled category list. The safe approach separates two kinds of work: predictable text splitting can be formula-driven, while interpretation must preserve uncertainty.
