excel email validation formula

Question

I have a column where people enter email address manually. I want to validate the email address using this formula:

=AND(FIND(“@”,A2),FIND(“.”,A2),ISERROR(FI         


        

Answer 1

I got the same error for your code, and it appears that you have NOT "plain" double quotes, that is different from this symbol: ".

Try my spelling: =AND(FIND("@",A2),FIND(".",A2),ISERROR(FIND(" ",A2))) - hope will help!

EDIT:

In addition, consider to use =AND(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("@",A1))),NOT(ISERROR(FIND(".",A1))),ISERROR(FIND(" ",A1))) - that will prevent errors in case @ or . are missing. Still, this will pass as OK aaa@., but I suppose even such straightforward approach has rights to be used)
