All,
Any easy way to convert Smith John to Smith,John? No need to lose the space.
I tried a find and replace but some people have middle names like Smith John C so it ends up replacing it to look like Smith,John,C
Thanks!

Try
=SUBSTITUE(A1," ",",",1)
That was crazy easy. Def a function i didnt know. Thanks!
Try this out:
=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A1)," ",",")
If there are any additional spaces, present accidetally, this will prevent the extra ones from beoming commas.

You're welcome..
Keep in mind, it will be wrong for people with 2 word last names like Van Pelt or whatever..
And there really isn't anything you can do about it
Considering that Either the first or last name could have 2 words.
There is no way for excel to know if it's the first or last name (or both) that is 2 words.
