I am trying to rearrange the following text string: "last name, first name" into: "first name last name"
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Welcome to the Board!

This will work for simple names (first name, last name only):

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)

Hope that helps,

Smitty
