is there a way to do a folmula to find the space, add and comma and swap
everything before the space with everything after the space.
Jennifer Dolly in A2
Fomula in B2 something to do with =find(" ") and RIGHT & LEFT... etc...

so it becomes Dolly, Jennifer

??

I do the text to columns and then = B2&","&A2, but am hoping to save
myself
some time.

Data-Text to Columns...Delimited

How is the data orgainzed? If it's "Bob Dole" then the delimiter is a
space character. If it's "Dole, Bob" then the delimiter is a comma

You'll need an empty column to the right of the names. Also, if it's a
space delimiter you'll need to do some checking & manual cleanup because
of
names such as "Billy Joe Davis"

Is there a way to have excel split the first and last name into two
separate
cells?
