Hey all,
Coffee hasn't hit my brain yet this morning and I cant figure this one out.
I have a list of names that are in the following format:
LastName Suffix, FirstName MI
The middle initial is not always present, neither is the suffix. For simplicity purposes, we will assume the suffix can ONLY be "Jr."
Here is some sample data:
Brown Jr., Wayne
Fowler, Michael
Parker, David A
Winstead Jr., Johnny N
I want the output to be the following:
Brown, Wayne
Fowler, Michael
Parker, David
Winstead, Johnny
Thanks in advance for the help!
PS (if i can get a formula that at least gets rid of the middle initial at the end (if it exists), then that would be a HUGE step in the right direction, as the Jr. only occurs on maybe 3% of my data. The middle initial is in about 80% of the data.
