I am working on spreadsheet that has a list of names in the following format: “Your T Name/the company”
I used the following formula to list the last name in an adjacent cell: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(" ",A101,SEARCH(" ",A101)+1)),RIGHT(A101,LEN(A101)-SEARCH(" ",A101)),RIGHT(A101,LEN(A101)-SEARCH(" ",A101,SEARCH(" ",A101)+1)))
However, since this list includes our internal email address the results are coming up as follows: “Name /the company” Can someone help me by providing a formula to remove the “/the company” from the last name field?

Click to expand...

try insert a new column right of your column => Data =>TextToColumns =>
Separated => Separator = / and don't import the column with company

all,

Thank you for providing solutions and replying to my post. After I walked away and came back to the spreadsheet, I used find and replace which wasn't the best option but it worked.

Best Regards,
