Default Splitting text, like "Text to columns", but as a formula


You are right. 50 is an arbitrary number of characters, but the number
has to be big enough to accommodate the longest names that you might
have to parse.

It doesn't really matter how big the number is because the "=TRIM"
function eliminates all the blank spaces beyond the end of the name.
