Try this:

=MID(A1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","~",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"
",""))))+1,99)

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.
