I have some data that I want to edit on my worksheet. The data looks like this: CX=John Doe. I want to get rid of the, "CX=" part and just have the first and last name.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off

Click to expand...
Are there always 3 characters in front of the name? If so...

=REPLACE(A1,1,3,"")

Otherwise...

=REPLACE(A1,1,FIND("=",A1),"")
