hi!

i am cleaning up years of contacts from my google account... [i wish there was a manual somewhere with step by step guidance and some vba to assist in this]
this might be the 1st of a couple of requests for help.

the problem:
there are cells with text strings like "watsonphone" or "smithfamily" or "039155672given" - i want to clean the data by deleting, in this case, the "phone", "family" or "given" - there are other strings.

i am not a programmer and only venture into excel infrequently, so please spare me the flames

let me know if this requires 'commercial services'

it's been a couple of days but have a wonderful rest of 2021!

God bless
gabriel
