How do I change name in single cell from last, first to first last
You can't do it directly unless you use a macro. The easiest was is to flip
the names around with a formula and then copy / paste special - values the correct names over top of the original... The formula could be something like this... =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,256)& " " & LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1) -- HTH...

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 "Dreamy" wrote: In Excel 2003 how do I change a name in single cell that is last, first to a first last name still in the same cell ? |
