Ok,
so I have names in a column which I want to both insert a space after
a "," and then delete everything after the second word space. i.e
James,Patrick Coogan needs to be
James, Patrick
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance
You guys have been very patient and I very much appreciate all the
help.
Patrick:)
