Default Concatonate - can it be undone

I need to split first and last name into two fields/columns - is there a
macro or formula that could accomplish this?
Thanks.

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1

=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255)

replace the " " by ", " if you separate with a comma.

Data-Text to columns then choose delimited and put a check next to what is
in between the names and it will split them into columns.
