    action to delete

    Hello

    I have a huge Excel database of 10000 email addresses, and in order to import them in to my email accounts address book, I need to remove the the persons name so I am just left with the email address.

    ie;

    (All in one cell)
    John Smith <[email protected]>

    needs to become

    <[email protected]>

    I am wondering if there is an action or something that I can run so I don't have to delete each name by hand more than 1000 times?

    Hope someone can help.

    Kind Regards

    TRY THIs
    select this cell go to EDIT > Fill < Series > justify Click ok
    Does it make sence?

    This should separate the addresses in this cell into many rows

    The email addresses are confidential but it basically looks like this - all in one column.

    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>
    John Smith <[email protected]>

    x 10000

    try this
    Assuming the cells are all in Column A.

    Enter this formula in another column

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("<",A1)+1)
