I have a cell that contains name, last name and middle initial. Is there a
way to automatically split those items into 3 different cells?

One way:

Data/Text to Columns/Delimited/Space.

To automatically do that, you can record a macro.

You can use the Text To Columns tool on the Data menu.

per the response to your first post:

Hi Casinfo,

Look at Data | Text To Columns

You may need to split last from the remainder first with comma as the
separator, then split the resulting second column using space as the
separator. Or you could split on space the first time and replace the
comma with nothing.
