I have a list of names in Column A that include both a first name and last
name. No middle initials or suffixes.

Is there a way to easily split the first name and last name into 2 columns?

Thanks in advance

Assuming there's a space between the names,

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)) for the first name

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)) for the surname

Regards,
Alan.

Select your column of data and then on the toolbar select Data - Text to
Columns and follow the steps
