updating email addresses in cells
I have a list of contacts with email addresses. My client is changing their
email layout from to . I would like to replace the jmsith with john.smith, which I can get by concatenating the first and last name columns with a dot, but how do I get it to replace everything up to the @ with the newly concatenated name? I tried a combination of search, replace, etc, but I couldn't get the combo right. Any help is appreciated. Everything after the @ remains the same. Thanks, cstwoplus |

CONCATENATE("FirstName", ".", "LastName", ")
If you have the entire first and last names in separate fields, you can do this all with one concatenate function. (Concatenate ") Hope this helps.

Do you have the list of new names in your worksheet in a column?
Say column D with your current addresses in Column A Split out the domain names into column B using DataText to columns delimited by other. Enter the @ symbol and Finish Then in an adjacent column enter =D1 & "@" & B1 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 11 Apr 2007 08:06:04 -0700, cstwoplus wrote: I did not make it clear that the list I need to change has 400 names, and they do not all end with @client.com.
