Default Converting Text Format from LAST NAME, First Name to First Name La

Actually made that formula more complicated than it needed to be.
Try this:
B1: =TRIM(MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,LEN(A1)))

Does that help?

With
A1: The Clown, Bozo

This formula converts that text to FirstName LastName
B1: =TRIM(MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(",",A1&" "&A1)+1,LEN(A1)))

Is that something you can work with?
