One way:
Assuming you have the name in cell A1... =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))&", "&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) "Magic" wrote in message ... Joe Brown is the text in a cell. Is there a worksheet function that I can turn this into Brown, Joe in another cell. |

Assuming no middle initials, try...
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))&", "&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1) Hope this helps! In article , "Magic" wrote: Joe Brown is the text in a cell. Is there a worksheet function that I can turn this into Brown, Joe in another cell. |
