Hello,

I have values that are pulling in from my data set as "Name-Email". I would like to only keep the Name. Is there a formula I can use to get rid of the - Email part?

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
you can extract to a different cell - if you want the cell to be modified then it will need VBA

as you have 365 , then a textbefore()

=TEXTBEFORE(A2,"-")
