Looking for formula (Right function, Left function, or Mid function) to extract values in column A and place initials in column B, middle name in column C and firstname in column D. See attached sample file. Thanks.
First Logic
Names without initial should be placed in column D
Second Logic
Names with initial:
1. Place initial in column B (e.g. John A. - A. will be in column B)
2. Place name in column D (e.g. John A. - John will be in column D)
Third Logic
Names with middle name:
1. Place middle name in column C (e.g. Afsaneh Mashayekhi. - Mashayekhi will be in column C)
2. Place name in column D (e.g. Afsaneh Mashayekhi. - Afsaneh will be in column D)
Fourth Logic
Initial and name in paranthesis:
1. Place initial in column A (e.g. A. C. (Del). - A. C. will be in column A)
2. Place name in column D (e.g. A. C. (Del). - (Del) will be in column D)
Names in this format:
Name: Bin-Ming (Benjamin) - means no middle name or initial
Name: Catherine E. (Kate) - initial is E. and first name is Catherine (Kate) - kate in parathesis is alias for Catherine so we want to have it as Catherine (Kate) (same for this type of name Edward E. "Ned")
