Hi all,

I have a list of names that is surname, first name and want to change it to first name space surname without the comma.

I have this formula =MID(B63&" "&B63,FIND(" ",B63)+1,LEN(B63)) which works to swap the name around but don't know how to remove the comma.

Currently like this Smith, Charles
With formula Charles Smith,
Want it Charles Smith

Is there something I can add to the formula to delete the comma please.

Thank you :)
 

Excel Facts

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Just subtract one from the length, i.e.
=MID(B63&" "&B63,FIND(" ",B63)+1,LEN(B63)-1)

You need to subtract one from the length...

=MID(B63&" "&B63,FIND(" ",B63)+1,LEN(B63)-1)
