Default Help splitting text entries with commas


Hi all -

I have a sheet of names in the format "-Last name, First name, team-",
and I want to change the list to be "First name last name (no comma, no
team)". I can't think of a simple way to do it? Is there a way to
split text using a specific symbol (comma in this case) as the divider?
I've been trying combos of "mid" with the "search" function to find the
first comma. This has allowed me to extract the last name, but I'm
having trouble getting the isolated first name...

Thanks!
