How do you automatically delete email domains in an Excel column?

[sjeff]

Meaning any emails in a column in Excel that have an email of aol.com, cs.com, and compuserve.com, I want to automatically delete and am wondering how do I do that? In addition, once they are automatically deleted I want the rest of the items in the column combined together so there are no empty rows in the column.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

Attached is a sample workbook. Again, I simply want to know how to delete the aol.com, cs.com, and compuserve.com email domains automatically. Thank you.

I do not know how to close my post in the other forum. Could my question here be answered?

In cell B1, type =LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)-1) and copy down.

You do not need to close your other post. You need to read the article referenced about cross posting and understand when and how to do it and when not to.

Alan, that removes the value before the "@". I simply want to remove every single AOL, compuserve, and cs.com email domain, that is it. Let me clarify, I want to automatically remove the values in a cell that have the email domain "aol.com", "cs.com", and "compuserve.com".

[alansidman]

ok. my misunderstanding.

Type this in B1 and copy down =ISERROR(IF(FIND("aol",A1),"Del",IF(FIND("cs.com",A1),"Del",IF(FIND("compuserve",A1),"Del","Keep"))))

Sort on column B and then delete all FALSE statements

Alan, for any value in column A that has the email domain "aol.com" it says "FALSE" in column B but for any value in column A that has the email domain "compuserve.com" or "cs.com" it says "TRUE" in column B. In addition, once it says "FALSE" in column B, how do I automatically remove values in column A that have a value of "FALSE" in column B?
