Remove Characters Until a Specific Character is Reached
Thu, 17 May 2007 10:26:04 -0700 from Frosty 1234 <Frosty1234
@discussions.microsoft.com: Have cells with First Last names in them - need last name only. How to delete all characters up to and inlcuding the first blank space from left to right. I am having difficulty because the length of the first name varies... =MID(A1,1+FIND(" ",A1),999) This will fail if you have any middle names, but it will work with two-word last names like "de Souza". -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ |

Remove Characters Until a Specific Character is Reached
Tried this too and works as well - except of course on those with middle
names. Really appreciate the fast response. -- Thanks so much "Stan Brown" wrote: Thu, 17 May 2007 10:26:04 -0700 from Frosty 1234 <Frosty1234 @discussions.microsoft.com: Have cells with First Last names in them - need last name only.
