I am trying to find a way to remove the last character from a cell if it is a number.

In the example below I have email addresses in cells A2 and A3. The formula in cell B2 converts the email address to its proper name. The example formula is shown in Cell D2.

As shown in Cell B3 the formula returns the name with a number at the end, as there is a number in the email address.

Is there a method whereby I can incorporate another formula into that shown in Cell D2 to remove the number from the end IF a number exists.

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
How about
Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN(" ",,TAKE(PROPER(TEXTSPLIT(A3,{".","@"},SEQUENCE(10,,0))),1,2))
