Ron,

I found that when a persons name starts with M it skips the first name
and inputs the middle initial

for example

MICHEAL B SMITH

returns

B

How would this be corrected?

This should do it, and will also remove the space following the FN.

=REGEX.MID(A1,"(?!D|M(\w{0,2}(\.\s|\s)))(?<=\s|^)\ w+(?=\s)")

Did you also see my note about the Last Name issue?
