I have a database imported into excel, column a has surname and Christin
names seperated by a comma, ie Adams,John want to extract these into another
column as John Adams

And then concatenate, as the OP wants both in the same column!

Put this in the target column where imported names start in ColA, Row2
=RIGHT($A2,LEN($A2)-FIND(" ",$A2))&" "&LEFT($A2,FIND(",",$A2)-1)
Adjust $A2 to your source
