Intermediate

Standardize signup emails and pull out each username

LOWER folds case out of an email for de-duplication; LEFT and FIND together peel off the part before the @ without knowing how long it is.

Task:

You run marketing operations for a small online retailer. This week's newsletter signups came in through three different forms, so the emails your export gives you are in inconsistent case — the mail platform treats "Priya.Patel@GMAIL.com" and "priya.patel@gmail.com" as two different addresses, which would double-count some subscribers. Before loading the list, put a lowercase version of each email in column C for de-duplication, and each signup's username — the part before the @, in its original case — in column D for a personalized greeting.

The daily challenge is part of Pro
