Step by step
- 1FIND("@", A2) returns the position of the @ symbol.
- 2MID starts one character after it and takes the rest.
- 3100 is just a length comfortably longer than any domain.
Tips
- To get the username instead, use =LEFT(A2, FIND("@", A2) - 1).
- Wrap in IFERROR to handle cells that don’t contain an @.
