This small validation trick will make your excel intelligent and your BOSS happy \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Email ID syntax validation in an Excel Cell<\/h3>\n<p>Suppose you have a cell to enter email ID ONLY and ofcourse you would like user to enter a valid email ID there. To verify that you would like to place a syntax validation in place so that user is notified on entering a an invalid email ID. (Only Syntax validation here) <strong> Example: <\/strong> abc@xyz.com<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI have created a function which does the syntax validation of any text entered as an email ID.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-vbnet\">\nPublic Function IsValidEmail(rng As Range) As Boolean\n    If Trim(rng.Value) Like \"?*@[!.]*.[!.]*\" Then\n        If Not rng.Value Like \"*@*@*\" Then\n            IsValidEmail = True\n        End If\n    End If\nEnd Function\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<h3>How to use the above function &#8211; Method 1<\/h3>\n<p>The above function can be used in many ways. But here I am explaining to use the above function in two ways.<br \/>\nFollow the below steps to do so:<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1<\/h2>\n<p>Press ALT + F11 to go to the VBE (VB Code Editor)<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2<\/h2>\n<p>From the Top-Left, right click on any Sheet and Add a New Module<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3<\/h2>\n<p>Paste the above code in that module (in Right side Pane as shown in the below picture)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_3108\" style=\"width: 743px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3108\" src=\"https:\/\/vmlogger.com\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2013\/09\/Email_Syntax_Validation_3.png\" alt=\"Pic 1 - Function - Email Syntax Validation\" title=\"Pic 1 - Function - Email Syntax Validation\" width=\"733\" height=\"286\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3108\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pic 1 - Function - Email Syntax Validation<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4<\/h2>\n<p>Now in your excel sheet you can use <strong><i>IsValidEmail<\/i><\/strong> as a formula. It takes cell address as Input. This formula validates the email ID entered in that cell and returns TRUE\/FALSE accordingly.

User receives an error message as soon as he\/she enters an email ID with an incorrect syntax. ( Refer the below pic)<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_3110\" style=\"width: 616px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3110\" src=\"https:\/\/vmlogger.com\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2013\/09\/Email_Syntax_Validation_5.png\" alt=\"Pic 3 - Email Syntax Validation\" title=\"Pic 3 - Email Syntax Validation\" width=\"606\" height=\"214\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3110\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pic 3 - Email Syntax Validation<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Follow the below steps to achieve above:<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1<\/h2>\n<p>From the Top-Left side double click on the Sheet Name where your cell is there on which you want to implement this validation. In right side Code Pane, paste the below code<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-vbnet\">\nPrivate Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)\n    Dim msg As Boolean\n' \"$B$15\" is the cell address where email ID\n' is supposed to be entered user\n    If Target.Address <> \"$B$15\" Then\n        Exit Sub\n    Else\n        msg = IsValidEmail(Target)\n' C15 is the cell address where you want to display\n' the error message on Entering the wrong email ID.\n        If msg = False Then Range(\"C15\").Value = \"Incorrect Email ID\"\n        If msg = True Then Range(\"C15\").Value = \"\"\n    End If\nEnd Sub\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now you are done :).
