In this article, we will show you how to extract email addresses from Excel. Simply follow the steps below.
Follow the steps below to use the Flash Fill feature in Excel to extract email addresses from a column of mixed data in Excel.
Find the column in your Excel sheet that contains the data mixed with email addresses.
In a new column next to the data, type the email address from the first row manually to establish a pattern.
Select the cell where you entered the email. Go to the 'Data' tab, then click on 'Flash Fill' or simply press Ctrl+E. Excel will automatically fill down the rest of the column by extracting email addresses from the adjacent cells following the pattern you started.
Check the newly created column for accuracy. Copy or move the email addresses as needed.
Follow the steps below to extract email addresses from Excel using the Text to Columns feature. This method is best suited for situations where emails are embedded within a string of text.
Identify and select the column that contains the mixed data including the email addresses.
Go to the 'Data' tab, then click on 'Text to Columns'.
In the wizard, choose 'Delimited' and click 'Next'.
Select the delimiter that separates the emails from the rest of the data (like commas or spaces). If emails are separated by a specific character, choose that. Click 'Next', then 'Finish'. The emails will be separated into individual cells.
After separation, you may need to manually isolate the email addresses if they are not already in a separate column.
Once the email addresses are in their own column, copy or move them as required.
