Match Names in Different Formats

[Harlequin]

Hello

I have a list of names from one system that is in this format i.e. "JONES/JACK". I want a formula to return it as "Jack Jones". Basically I want to return any the name or names after the division symbol first, then have a space, & then return the first name. (JONES/JACK becomes Jack Jones).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here you go;

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-(FIND("/",A1)))&" "&LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-(FIND("/",A1))+1)

Assumes name is in A1

Cheers

slightly shorter :-)...

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("/",A1))&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1)

hi Harlequin, you may try:

=PROPER(MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,256)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1))

@icestationzbra:

An alternative, including the case change that the others missed

=PROPER(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1&" "&A1,"/",REPT(" ",100)),100,100)))
