    Split column into 2 based on space

    Hey,

    I'm sure this is mighty easy, but I'm hoping to take Column A which currently has names written in it in the form "Joe Bloggs" and split it into two columns, "Joe" in Column B and "Bloggs" in Column C. All names are enterred seperated by a space.

    Hope somebody can help.

    Many thanks,

    Tim
