Default Cut and paste


I often get list that I need to cut and paste into cells from emails
where a person's last name is first, what is the easiest way to switch
the format to read their Name correctly starting with their first name?

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

assuming first and family names are separated by a space.
