Error handling is a crucial aspect of writing robust JavaScript code. The try-catch-finally statement provides a structured way to handle runtime errors, ensuring that your application remains stable. Syntax of try-catch-finally: try { // Code that may throw an error } catch (error) { // Code to handle the error }… Continue reading Understanding try-catch-finally in JavaScript
Extracting Domain from Email Addresses
When preparing a CSV file for import, it’s often useful to extract the domain from email addresses to analyze customer data, group accounts, or validate records. Instead of manually separating email domains, an advanced Excel formula can automatically extract them. Assuming Column A contains email addresses (e.g., john.doe@example.com), use this formula: =RIGHT(A2, LEN(A2) – FIND(“@”,… Continue reading Extracting Domain from Email Addresses
