Dave, I wasn't aware spaces could cause a problem. Yes, the format that the
outsourced company uses in thier spreadsheet does include unnecessary leading
and trailing spaces.

Would it work best if I run the Trim function and then run your formula from
the clean data?

Hi,
My formula works ok for me. Try typing Jerry White Jerry White into A2 and
apply the formula.
Does your data have leading or trailing spaces that you're not telling us
about?
