Separating Names in a cell
 
I have a lengthy trade list of some mom & pop businesses. They have used two
columns for the first and last names. However, for the first name they
included both mom & pop in that cell (i.e. Harold & Lucy). Is there any
formula to pull those first names into two separate cells?

You could try this to see if it is what you are after.

Data....text to columns...delimited...then check 'other' as the delimiter
and put the & symbol in the box. This should split any names seperated by
the "&"
