Splitting one column into two
I have a spreadsheet which contains one column of names, (last name,
first name). I would like to split this into two columns so that I will have the last name in one column and the first name in another so that I can use either the first or last name in a mail merge. Is there way to do this? Thanks-- BJ |
Splitting one column into two
Are the names seperated by a space? or by a comma?
Data...text to columns....delimited... and then choose what seprates the names (space, or comma or whatever) this should split them up for you.
