Dear sir,
There are several cells each containing name comma surname. I request you to guide me to delete the comma, cut the surname and paste the surname in the adjacent cell so I can have names and surnames in two separate cells.

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Select the column, and from the ribbon or menu bar depending on which version of Excel you are using, click Data > Text To Columns, Delimeter option for comma, OK and Finish.

Select the column again and hit Ctrl+H.
In the Find what field, enter a comma.
Click Replace All.
