Does anyone have a canned Excel formula that will check a cell to confirm it is a properly formed email address with no extra characters or blanks?


In cell A1 might be:
name@domain.com
first@anydomain.org
or any similar properly formed email address
Formula in cell B1 would return FALSE

In cell A1 might be:
name@domain.com;
name@domain.com (trailing blank)
first@anydomain.org-
first@anydomain.org (leading blank)
or any similar malformed email address
Formula in cell B1 would return TRUE

Thanks!!!!!
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
This should return TRUE if the email address is correct and FALSE otherwise

Code:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH("*@*.???",A1,0))

I'm guessing there will be quite a few options where it fails.
Have you considered recreating the email address in the adjacent column correctly??

Something like
Code:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),";",""),"-","")
