You need to parse out the last name. Create a helper column of just last
name using something like:
=right(a1,len(a1)-find(" ",a1))

Data/ Text to Columns will split your first and last names.

Rob Bovey created a parsenames file years ago that still seems to work. Ask
him if he still has it for free?
