The last word
A more robust approach is
=MID(TRIM(A1),FIND(CHAR(127),SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1)," ",CHAR(127),
LEN(TRIM(A1))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))))+1,32767)
Just out of curiosity... any special reason for choosing CHAR(127) as
opposed to using one of the rarely used sub-32 characters codes; for
example, CHAR(1)?

With your name in A1 try

If the string were long with many spaces, this could fail.
If the string happens to end with trailing spaces, this WILL fail. The
work-around for that is another TRIM call.
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1)," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))
A more robust approach is
=MID(TRIM(A1),FIND(CHAR(127),SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1)," ",CHAR(127),
LEN(TRIM(A1))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))))+1,32767)
which assumes CHAR(127) wouldn't be found in the string. In the very
unlikely chance it could, the most robust approach involves using a
defined name like seq referring to the formula
=ROW(INDEX(Incurred!$1:$65536,1,1):INDEX(Incurred! $1:$65536,32767,1))
and using it in the formula
=MID(TRIM(A1),LOOKUP(2,1/(MID(" "&TRIM(A1),seq,1)=" "),seq),32767)
