Is there functionality in Excel 2010 to convert a cell that has last name, first name to first name last name? For instance:

  • Before: Mouse, Mickey
  • After: Mickey Mouse

I'm trying to merge data from 2 sources, and the common data between the two is the name. However, it is formatted differently in each data source.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Thanks Rick. I was thinking it'd be something along using MIDs and LENs....but then I thought I was just remembering my old BASIC programming days.
