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

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Just subtract one from the length, i.e.
=MID(B63&" "&B63,FIND(" ",B63)+1,LEN(B63)-1)

Excel Formula:
=Substitute(MID(B63&" "&B63,FIND(" ",B63)+1,LEN(B63)),",","")

You need to subtract one from the length...

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