With list of names starting in A1, try this in B1:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("^^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"
","^^^",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
Copy down as needed.

Hi.
Seems simple, but not for me...
I have a list of names in the format John N Jones (no commas). I want to
only capture the last name (i.e. Jones) in another cell. How do I
accomplish
this. I already tried the Pearson site, but no help. No code please.
Thank you.
Mark
