    Changing the position of names

    Hi

    I have a list of thousands of names (Sur name then First name) in a tool:

    Richard,Dell
    Mexas, Brown
    Howells, David

    etc. etc.

    I copy them and paste them in Excel File (say Column A); then I arrange them (in same column) manually to appear as:

    Dell Richard
    Brown Mexas
    David Howells

    Please help me with a formula to make them arrange automatically as they are arranged manually without comma.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Try this?

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
