    Smile Remove part of text in each cell, long list, help please!

    Hello EF! I'm new here and even if no one can help, this is a great resource. So thanks already!

    Anyway, here's my situation...

    I'm using Excel Mac 2011 and have a long list of e-mail addresses (2000+).

    I need to import these to my e-mail broadcasting service, however, only some can be read because the addresses look like this:

    "[email protected] <[email protected]>"

    This text is in single cells.

    I'm looking for a way (rather than manually) to remove the "<[email protected]>" part of the text in each cell, automatically.

    It's quite a long list, so this would really help to save time.

    I looked at the replace tool and have also wondered if there is a some kind of function I can run to achieve this. I'm just not sure where to start!

    Any help, much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Matt

    Perhaps try Edit -> Replace replacing: <* with nothing.
