Hi all,

I need to change position of Firstname and Lastname.

Eg: Bill Smith becomes SmithB
Helen Clinton becomes ClintonH

Either VBA code or Function to do the job would be good.

Thanks in advanve.

Cheers Bogia

Hello,

Try something like the following:

Code:
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))&LEFT(A1,1)
And please post back when you realize that you've drastically over simplified the potential array of names you need to parse. :wink: :p :LOL:
