I am working on contacts sheet which I need to get the name from email.
Multiple cases I have to faced and with the help of below post link, I formed the sheet below.
Extract name and company from email address

Case 1: The mail id may contain separators like dot, dash and under-score
Case 2: The mail id may contain numbers
Case 3: The mail id may contain upper case letters without separators

Does anyone has an idea to shorten the steps and fix the last two rows issue.
I aim to do everything in one formula or using vba

How can you guarantee that your list in column K covers all the possible email formats? What about something like JohnFKennedy@whitehouse.gov or FrankLloydWright@architect.com?
Thanks, @6StringJazzer for your reply, There will be no guarantee to cover every case.
In fact, I am trying to cover all possible cases (famous ones) as the mail id does not have a fixed structure.

However, as the excel template that I am trying to design, only includes First and Last Names, your mentioned case and mine in the mini sheet could be resolved by taking the last part (Kennedy) or (Wright) as the last name, while the rest can be in the first name cell (JohnF) or (FrankLloyd).

If we cover that, the exceptional cases will be minimal and can be fixed at the time of appending the contacts.
This formulas -and VBA if needed- will save a huge time for me and my colleagues writing everything manually.
