Spliting one column into two?

Posted by Kendal Nichols on January 25, 2002 8:29 AM

I have a column with full names (Ex. Nichols, Kendal)

Is there a way to split this column into two columns, one with the first name, and one with the last.

Thanks for your help,
Kendal

There may be an easier way, but this works.

jon scorey jon scorey
=LEFT(I455,FIND(" ",I455))
=RIGHT(I455,LEN(I455)-FIND(" ",I455))
