Default How do I change name in single cell from last, first to first last

Hi,

You can't really do what your asking without VBA. What you can do with a
formula is:

You can enter this in another cell and then copy and paste it over the old
text as values. In this example D1 contains the Last, First name

=MID(D1&" "&D1,FIND(",",D1)+2,LEN(D1)-1)

Copy this, select cell D1 and choose Edit, Paste Special, Values.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
