Default Adding a space in text

Hello experts,

A previous employee created a spreadsheet whereas in Column A are employee
names as follows:

Doe,John

Is there a formula that would add a space between the column and first name?

Thanks so much for your help! I'm using Excel 2003.

This seems to work:

=LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)) & " " & RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1))

you said a formula, so

=LEFT(D4,FIND(",",D4)) & " "&MID(D4,FIND(",",D4)+1,LEN(D4)-FIND(",",D4)+2)

If you want to insert the space and leave the text in the same column:
Select the column.
Editreplacefind , replace with ,<space
