Default last name, first name strings


Hi there,

I am a newbie and am having some trouble with seperating data in
Excel.

Here is my issue:

I have a table of employee names are in one column alone, but all in a
different format:

first name -space- last name
last name, first name
last name -space- first name

What I am needing to do is get all the names to be in the same order
and seperated into two columns as:

Last Name column
First Name column

How do I take those combined name formats that are in one column and
seperate them into seperate columns in the correct order?

Thanks,

Christina
