Use datatext to columns (make a backup of the file first), use space as
delimiter and make sure the adjacent column to the right is empty

or


=Left(A1,Find(" ",A1)-1)


assume you put that formula in B1, in C1 use

=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,""))

I've got a single cell containing a first and last name, seperated by a
space. I need to break it into two cells:

I've got I need
Cell1 Cell2 Cell3
John Doe John Doe

I was thinking my formula would be:

=Left(A1,Find(" ",A1)25)

But no joy...

Thanks in advance!
