Extracting Surname from within a text string
I have a spreadsheet column which stores client names in the format 'Mr & Mrs
Fred Bloggs' or Mr Iain Kerr. I want to be able to sort this in alphabetic order based on the Surname only. Is there a multi function to determine where the first space charactor is from the Right Hand Side? This would give the the start position (-1) of the Surname. I figured that if I can isolate that into a hidden column, then I can easily sort on it. |
