    Question Forumula Result Good, but circular reference prevents application. Revision?

    Trying to change names in a guest list all in the same column. Example: John Doe--->Doe, John.
    This is the formula: =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1,LEN(A1)) & ", " & LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1))

    Like I said the formula result lists exactly what I want but then the Circular Reference warning pops up and then prevents the desired result from occurring...any ideas??

    I just tried your formula on a blank workbook and got no circ error. plz note that circ error refferences are not always where excel says they are, and that sometimes it takes a little more digging to find the culprit.

    try deleting (and then putting back) different parts of your sheet/book until it disappears, to aid in finding it

    there is nothing wrong with the formula you posted tho
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
