Default Separate parts of a name into three cells

I have a name cell that has last, first middle. How can I separate the last
into one cell, the first in the next cell and the middle in the next. The
last and first have a , and a space between them and there is a space between
the first and the middle.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

Select the column of data then

Data|Text to columns - Delimited
Next
Check space and comma
Finish

That was too simple. Duh! I've even done it before but couldn't remember.
Thanks, Mike!
