    Changing name orders FROM LastName, FirstName TO FirstName LastName

    Hi gang. I searched posts and was unable to locate this question. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

    I have two client spreadsheets with an extensive number of names that I need to compare. I would like to change the name format on one spread sheet from LastName, FirstName to FirstName LastName. probably pretty self-explanatory but Smith, John to John Smith.

    Is there any way to do this automatically for an entire column?

    One way...

    Data Range
    A
    B
    1
    Smith, John
    John Smith
    2
    Wynot, Tammy
    Tammy Wynot
    3
    Rain, Misty
    Misty Rain
    4
    Sharpe, Edward
    Edward Sharpe
    5
    Van Halen, Eddie
    Eddie Van Halen


    This formula entered in B1 and copied down:

    =MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,LEN(A1)-1)
