Probably a simple solution but, I have a data set of names and phone numbers that are mixed and I'm trying to extract the names. The phone numbers are formated special number (phone) cells and the names are just text. I have 15 columns and 7800 rows. How can I identify and extract the names plain text?
TIA,
Shawn

Welcome to the forum.
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
