Is there a Data Validation formula to recongise correctly formed email addesses?
RE: Data Validation
Hi Duncan
Thanks for getting in touch. Validating email addresses is harder than you think as there are many combinations.
Here's a suggestion that looks for a "." and "@". To apply this, select your range, click Data > Data Validation and choose Custom. In the formula enter:
=AND( FIND(".",A1),FIND("@",A1))
Assuming the data starts in A1 - modify as required. Give it a try and let me know how you get on.
Kind regards
