Default Firstname Lastname Field, Split two cells

Another way is
=LEFT(A3,FIND(" ",A3)-1) for the first name,
and =RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND(" ",A3)) for the last name.

One way ..
Select the range of contact names
Click Data Text to Columns (delimited)
Click Next, check Space Finish

Good Morning Everyone,

We have an Excel file where the contact name is in ONE FIELD. We want to
seperate the FirstName and LastName and put them in TWO FIELDS. Can
anyone tell me how to do this?

Right now this is how the database is:

FieldNames
Contact
Anthony Smith

This is what I'd like to acheive:
FieldNames
FirstName LastName
Anthony Smith

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
In God We Trust!
