Default Need to separate and rearrange names

This one leaves lots of spaces between the first and last name.

Assuming there is no space following the comma (both your examples show
that), give this formula a try...

=MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,LEN(A1))

How do you take Last,First and change it to First Last?
Ex: Joe,John needs to be rewritten to John Doe.
Using Excel 2003 and having the formula be in a different cell than the
text
it is converting so that the original text remains unchanged.
