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

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
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.
