    Function MYSTERY!! Need help to extract text strings separated by commas and spaces!

    Hi Everyone I cannot seem to get this right. I have a cell with text such as

    DOE,JOHN A

    I need it to spit out either

    John Doe

    or I can have two columns, one for last name

    Doe

    and one column for first name

    John

    If someone can show me how to do both of these that would be amazing!!!!

    In recap I need to separate both the first and last name, delete the middle initial at the end and have it in "proper" case. thanks a million to anyone who can solve this mystery!
