Extract Domain from Email in Excel

Using the TEXTAFTER Function

To effortlessly extract the domain from an email address in Excel, utilize the TEXTAFTER function. This function requires only the email text and the "@" delimiter. The syntax is simple: =TEXTAFTER(A1, "@"), where A1 contains the email address.

Using the TEXTSPLIT Function

The TEXTSPLIT function provides an alternative method. It divides the email address at the "@" symbol and returns all parts. The formula =TEXTSPLIT(A1, "@") will yield both the local part and the domain of the email in separate cells.

Using RIGHT, LEN, and FIND Functions

In older Excel versions without TEXTAFTER or TEXTSPLIT, combine RIGHT, LEN, and FIND functions. The formula =RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1) - FIND("@", A1)) extracts the domain. If email addresses contain extra spaces, apply the TRIM function beforehand.

Best Practices for Excel Email Extraction

TEXTAFTER and TEXTSPLIT are the preferred methods for their simplicity. However, if using the RIGHT, LEN, and FIND combination, ensure email formats are standard and consider using TRIM to clean the data.
