Cell Separations


Posted by Sean Biganski on December 19, 2001 11:48 AM

Hi I am trying to figure out a way maybe with a function to separate a cell which contains First Name the Last Name in the same field separated by a space into two different cells one with just the first name and one with just the last name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

See the thread at:

which provides a Text to Columns and a formula-based solution to your problem.

Highlight the names, and then select: Data-Text to Columns. Then select "Delimited" and click Next. Check the box for "Space" and click on Finish.
