Remove some text from a cell
I am attempting to update an email list. I have exported from Outlook all of
the emails that were returned to me because of a bad email address. Some of the address' are in a column along with a bunch of other words. My goal is to "pull" only the email address' out of that column. The only thing that I see that is consistent in each cell is the @ of the email address. Your help is greatly appreciated..... |
Remove some text from a cell
Hi!
Try this: =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1&" ",FIND("@",A1))-1)," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1))) Seems to work on the following possibilities: please note that Joe<atMicrosoft.com is no longer Bob<atAol.com email is undeliverable if you can read this buffy<atnetscape.net Tom01<atcomcast.rr text text me<atyou.org Note: I've replaced the "at" sign so the examples won't hyperlink.

Well, I can see that line wrap is going to cause problems with formula so
here it is in chunks: =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT (A1,FIND(" ",A1&" ",FIND("@",A1))-1) ," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1))) Biff "Biff" wrote in message ... Hi!
