I am trying to split out a name into 3 separate columns in excel. I am
working with names that have a middle initial and ones that don't all in the
same worksheet.
example: in cell A1, I have Smith/John L
I want column B1 to have John
I want column C1 to have L
I want column D1 to have Smith
This formulat setup would also have to work if I have Wilson/David in column
A2.
I would want column B2 to have David
I would want column C2 to be blank
I would want column D2 to have Wilson
Is this possible?
Thanks,
