Hints to get you started
- The domain starts one character after @.
- MID can ask for more characters than remain.
- Use LEN(C2) as a safe upper count.
Show the worked solution
=MID(C2,FIND("@",C2)+1,LEN(C2))MID stops at the end of text, so the requested length can cover the full source without truncating longer domains.
Make the skill stick
After solving the task, explain what each reference does and why the formula answers the business question. Try the workbook download inside the quest to practice in your own spreadsheet app.
