    Finding characters in a string

    Hi,

    I have a list of names in column A of my spreadsheet, they take the form of, for example: JOHNSTONE MARK MR
    Where JOHNSTONE is the surname
    MARK is the forename
    and MR is his title.

    The problem is of course that the surname, forename can be of any length so I cant use a simple RIGHT or LEFT function and I am stumped how to do it.
    Is there a function that will allow me to extract into columns B, C & D the
    surname, forename and title for each name in my list ?

    Many thanks for your help.
