The TextToColumns as previously described is the best procedure to do this
sort of thing, but be sure and check your results..........if the 600 rows
have been hand-entered, for sure there is a mistake somewhere along the line
which will need to be corrected...............no comma, two commas, etc etc

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.
