Tried this too and works as well - except of course on those with middle
names. Really appreciate the fast response.

@discussions.microsoft.com:
Have cells with First Last names in them - need last name only. How to delete
all characters up to and inlcuding the first blank space from left to right.
I am having difficulty because the length of the first name varies...

=MID(A1,1+FIND(" ",A1),999)

This will fail if you have any middle names, but it will work with
two-word last names like "de Souza".
