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.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

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),"")
