Formula to Seperate data in 1 cell
I have names on a sheet that I am trying to separate e.g. John.Smith
If I do the formula = Left(A1,Find(".",A1)-1) it returns John in the cell which is correct however if I do the formula Right(A1,Find(".",A1)-1) it works on some names and not others. Any idea of a formula where I can just extract the surname? |

This should do it for you.
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1)) "Sho" wrote: I have names on a sheet that I am trying to separate e.g. John.Smith If I do the formula = Left(A1,Find(".",A1)-1) it returns John in the cell which is correct however if I do the formula Right(A1,Find(".",A1)-1) it works on some names and not others.
