HI I am importing data where the name is one column and in this format:

Lastname,Firstname

I would like to have one column for First name and one for last name.

Can I do this in a macro?
 

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Assuming data is in col A & the result is in B & C. Try this:

Code:
[COLOR=blue]Sub[/COLOR] a1015973a[B]()[/B]
[COLOR=blue]Dim[/COLOR] va[B],[/B] vc
[COLOR=blue]Dim[/COLOR] i [COLOR=blue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]Long[/COLOR]
 
va [B]=[/B] Range[B]([/B][COLOR=brown]"A2"[/COLOR][B],[/B] Cells[B]([/B]Rows.count[B],[/B] [COLOR=brown]"A"[/COLOR][B]).[/B][COLOR=blue]End[/COLOR][B]([/B]xlUp[B]))[/B]
[COLOR=blue]ReDim[/COLOR] vc[B]([/B][B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=blue]To[/COLOR] UBound[B]([/B]va[B],[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B][B]),[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=blue]To[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=crimson]2[/COLOR][/B][B])[/B]
   
    [COLOR=blue]For[/COLOR] i [B]=[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=blue]To[/COLOR] UBound[B]([/B]va[B],[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B][B])[/B]

        vc[B]([/B]i[B],[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]2[/COLOR][/B][B])[/B] [B]=[/B] Trim[B]([/B]arr1[B]([/B][B][COLOR=crimson]0[/COLOR][/B][B]))[/B]
        vc[B]([/B]i[B],[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B][B])[/B] [B]=[/B] Trim[B]([/B]arr1[B]([/B][B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B][B]))[/B]
   
    [COLOR=blue]Next[/COLOR]
 
Range[B]([/B][COLOR=brown]"B2"[/COLOR][B]).[/B]Resize[B]([/B]UBound[B]([/B]vc[B],[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR][/B][B]),[/B] [B][COLOR=crimson]2[/COLOR][/B][B])[/B] [B]=[/B] vc
