parse text string
Let's say I have a bunch of names, such as:
John Doe Jane Doe Jim Doe and I want to re-arrange them as Doe, John Doe, Jane Doe, Jim I can figure out that a formula to do this is: =MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2,1)+1,LEN(A2)) & ", " & LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)) etc. However, if the name is John M Doe the above returns M Doe, John which isn't too helpful. So is there a single formula I can use to parse names, whether they are First Last or First Middle Initial Last to return Last First or Last First Middle Initial? I'm also open to using VBA if that is a better solution. Thanks, Dave |
