Excel formula for seperating two words in the same cell.
 

How do I seperate two words in the same cell, seperated by a comma into to
seperate cells. eg. John,Smith (in cell A1) converted to John (in cell B1)
and Smith (in cell C1)?

Select column A and do
Data|Text to columns
Delimited
by comma
and make sure you put the output in column B

In cell B1 put =MID(A1,1,FIND(",",A1,1)-1)

In cell C1 put =MID(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)+1,99)
