    deleting part of a cell

    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 <johnsmith@help.co.uk>

    needs to become

    <johnsmith@help.co.uk>

    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

    Hi,

    Use a helper column and use

    Copy this down your 1000+ rows then if necessary copy and paste special on top of the original data.
