separate lastname from firstname
Yes you can.
Use =LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1,1)-1) in B1 and =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(B1)-1) in C1 -- HTH Kassie Replace xxx with hotmail "enrico via OfficeKB.com" wrote: if lastname and firstname is in one column, can you separate it into two columns? -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

separate lastname from firstname
Then it becomes a little more complicated.
In B1 - =LEFT(A1,SEARCH(",",A1,1)-1); In C1 - =MID(A1,LEN(B1)+3,SEARCH(" ",A1,LEN(B1)+2)-1); In D1 - =MID(A1,LEN(B1)+LEN(C1)+4,SEARCH(" ",A1,LEN(B1)+LEN(C1)+4)-LEN(B1)-LEN(C1)-4), all on one line; and in E1 - =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(B1)-LEN(C1)-LEN(D1)-4), and then you will end up with "C.", if that's alright -- HTH Kassie Replace xxx with hotmail "enrico via OfficeKB.com" wrote: what if you have two names and a middle name like: Olmos, Edward James C. -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
