I have a very large sheet that has over 68,000 names that are all in one column. First and last separated by a comma. Is there any way to separate these out into two columns by first and last name?
Need to separate names in a column
I have a very large sheet that has over 68,000 names that are all in one column. First and last separated by a comma. Is there any way to separate these out into two columns by first and last name?
One way, if the column next to the names is blank...
Select the column (with the names in it).
Click Data > Text to Columns.
Then Select Delimited and click next.
Check the Comma Box and click next.
Then click finish

if there are only two names seperated by a comma
click on the column - then use Data > Text to columns
choose delimited > next
choose , > next
that should do what you asked

Let's assume the names are in column A.
Make sure column B is empty and ready to accept the parsed names.
Select the names in column A
Goto the Data tab>Text to Columns
Select: Delimited>Next
Select: Comma
Click: Finish
