Hi Michael!

One way is to set up a new column and use the formula:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

Then use Copy Paste Special Values on the new column and delete
the old one.

This might be an incredibly easy solution to my problem,
but I cannot think of it !!
I have a list of employees which is set out in the format
of first name, then surname e.g. John Smith.
I want to turn that around to read Smith John - is there a
way of doing this ??

Thanks !!
