I am having some difficulties getting this to work, but here is what I have;
for arguments sake, we will say the first name is John, last name Doe, middle initial X. I have a list of 200 names that look like this, that do me no good in this format. Doe, John Doe, John X Doe, X John Now I can get a formula that resolves the first one: =CONCATENATE(RIGHT(H2,LEN(H2)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(H2," ","*",LEN(H2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(H2," ","")))))&" "&LEFT(H2,FIND(" ",H2)-1)) However as you can probably tell, this falls apart on the second and third names...I need a formula that will fix both of them...and I cant quite seem to get it right. I know its gotta be a simple factor of an IF statement, I just can't get the math right as I am not very good with these types of functions =( |
