I have a text string as follows LAST NAME, FIRST NAME
Smith, John.

I need to put the last name in one column and the first name in another
column. I can do it for one cell using the left or right formula. But I have
600 cells and can't figure out the formula to copy down for the rest of the
cells.

Thank you.
