    Hello @MReznick,

    Sadly there is not an effective way to accomplish this through a beastmode.  However we can accomplish this through a SQL dataflow. 

    To do this we are going to take advantage of the SQL function SUBSTRING_INDEX(). 

    For example: 
    Email: test.user@domain.com

     

     

     

    SUBSTRING_INDEX('test.user@domain.com','@',-1) --> domain.com

    If you would like to remove the ".com" we can remove this by adding another SUBSTRING_INDEX() to the query. 

    SUBSTRING_INDEX(SUBSTRING_INDEX('test.user@domain.com','@',-1),'.',1)  --->  domain



    Here is a great link to a resource that explains how SUBSTRING_INDEX() works further.

    Obviously very late but this is how I do it: 

     

    RIGHT(`Email Address`,((LENGTH(`Email Address`))-(INSTR(`Email Address`,'@'))))

    Similar question was posted in the Dojo recently... I posted the following (link) suggestion related to doing it in DataFlow, but the same might work in BeastMode.  I have found that MySQL functions will work in Beast Mode even though they are not reflected as part of the Beast Mode function list.

     

    Extract Domain from Email Address

     

    Good luck, please let me know if that works or not.
