To check if email format is correct
- Copy the code below.
- Open any workbook.
- Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE).
- Press Ctrl + R to show the Project Explorer.
- Right-click desired file on left (in bold).
- From the Menu, choose Insert-Module.
- Paste the code into the right-hand code window.
- Close the VBE, save the file as VBA Enabled WorkBook (xlsm) for Excel 2010 and newer
How to Use the UDF
- Make sure you have enabled the macros
- You can use this in a formula on your worksheet as follows =IsEmailValid("someemail@somedomain.com")
- If the email address is valid, the formula will return TRUE
Function IsEmailValid(strEmail)
Dim strArray As Variant
Dim strItem As Variant
Dim i As Long, c As String, blnIsItValid As Boolean
blnIsItValid = True
i = Len(strEmail) - Len(Application.Substitute(strEmail, "@", ""))
If i <> 1 Then IsEmailValid = False: Exit Function
Redim strArray(1 To 2)
strArray(1) = Left(strEmail, InStr(1, strEmail, "@", 1) - 1)
strArray(2) = Application.Substitute(Right(strEmail, Len(strEmail) - Len(strArray(1))), "@", "")
For Each strItem In strArray
If Len(strItem) <= 0 Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
For i = 1 To Len(strItem)
c = LCase(Mid(strItem, i, 1))
If InStr("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_-.", c) <= 0 And Not IsNumeric(c) Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
Next i
If Left(strItem, 1) = "." Or Right(strItem, 1) = "." Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
Next strItem
If InStr(strArray(2), ".") <= 0 Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
i = Len(strArray(2)) - InStrRev(strArray(2), ".")
If i <> 2 And i <> 3 Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
If InStr(strEmail, "..") > 0 Then
blnIsItValid = False
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
Exit Function
End If
IsEmailValid = blnIsItValid
End Function
