    formula pulling first name and middle name in same column

    You'd be suprised that there's nothing on net addressing this specific case:
    Amador,Felipe Jose
    Baptiste,Roger

    although you would think there should be.
    Here there is no space between last and first.
    =TRIM(A2)
    Getting last is straight forward:
    =LEFT(F2, FIND(",",F2)-1)

    Pulling the first and middle initial, if exists, in separate columns is not so straight forward:
    =MID(F2,FIND(",",F2,FIND(" ",F2)+1)+1,FIND(" ",F2))
    That gives VALUE error
