I'm sure this will come as a really simple question to the rest of you, but I
have a column with names in it; I want to divide them into first and last names. How can I do this? I started with finding the space in between the first and last names, like this: SEARCH(" ",A2) Then when I got the number of the space, I started a conditional statement: IF(SEARCH(" ",A2)0, . . . .) But that's where I lose my line of thinking.So I'm telling it that if it finds a space, then I want it to return everything BEFORE the space to one column and then I need another function to return everything AFTER the space in another column. TIA for your help! |
