Splitting first and family name
 

Assuming that the format is always going to be:

FirstName LastName

'In this example, range is A2:A100
Sub SwitchIt()
Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range("A2:A100")
If Len(Cell.Value) < 0 Then
Cell.Value = Mid(Cell.Value, Application.Find
(" ", Cell.Value, 1) + 1, 100) & " " & Left(Cell.Value,
Application.Find(" ", Cell.Value) - 1)
End If
Next Cell
End Sub

Glad you go the answer you wanted, but if you are putting
the surname first why aren't you either placing a comma
afterward the surname (like in the US) or making sure that the surname
is capitalized, and the firstname is proper case as asked for
on some international registration forms.
