Spliting Names
Hello,
I have a sheet that in Column A names come in "X, Y" X as LastName and Y as FirstName. Is there a sample that I could split this column into to keeping LastName in Column A and after removing "," put the firstName in Column B? -- Jeff B Paarsa |

Select the range/column needs to be changed. From menu DataText to Columns
will populate the 'Convert Text to Columns Wizard'. By default the selection is 'Delimited'. Keep the selection and hit 'Next'. From the Step2 of the Wizard from the options select Comma and hit Next.

Just to add to Jacob's reply... if that is a comma and a space in between
the names, then in **addition** to selecting the Comma check box, also select the Space and "Treat consecutive delimiters as one" check boxes as well. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Jacob Skaria" wrote in message ...
