If cell A1 contains (surname)(single space)(single initial)(single
space)(score), the following will achieve what you want: =LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1)&","&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1))) HTH "Hayley" wrote: Sorry it should read I have Woods T 3/1 i want Woods T, 3/1 Thank you "Hayley" wrote: I would like to insert a , with a cell. i have Wood T 3,1 i would like to have Wood T,3/1 |

How about:
=REPLACE(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)+2,2,", ") It looks for the first space character, comes over two more, and replaces the space with a space-comma.

Inserting text within a cell
Do you know how I would go about adding a ' at the beginning of each cell in
a column without changing the information already in each cell?

Inserting text within a cell
Is a macro ok?
Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim myRng As Range Dim myCell As Range Set myRng = Nothing On Error Resume Next Set myRng = Intersect(Selection, _ Selection.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)) On Error GoTo 0 If myRng Is Nothing Then MsgBox "No constants in selection!" Exit Sub End If For Each myCell In myRng.Cells If myCell.PrefixCharacter < "'" Then myCell.Value = "'" & myCell.Text End If Next myCell End Sub Select a range and try it out.
