    Here, try this:

    =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",255)),255))
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Re: Need to remove numbes from alphanumberic field

    Then this maybe:

    =LEFT(A1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","~",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")))))

    From 22040-9655733226-9655733227-ottc99@yahoo.com
    First formula will return: ottc99@yahoo.com
    and second: 22040-9655733226-9655733227-

    Is that OK?

    Re: Need to remove numbes from alphanumberic field

    Hi
    does every entry follow this pattern - ie a dash - precedes the e-mail address?
    if so, try this formula:

    =TRIM(RIGHT(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)),LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)))-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)),"-","#",LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",A1)),"-",""))))))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("@",A1))

    Re: Need to remove numbes from alphanumberic field

    zbors first formula can be extended to returm the numbers
    =SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-"&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-",REPT(" ",255)),255)),"")
    However there is a bogey "2211088-info@omex-g.com", depends on how many of that type there are if it is worth amending the formula or changing the result manually

    Re: Need to remove numbes from alphanumberic field

    is that the full text string? it looks suspicious that you got left with stuff after this
    =TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",255)),255))
