I just want to substitute a character between first name and last name and I also need to add a space between first name and last name.
Can I use the substitute function to perform both actions as once?

George, James A – Desired result
I used substitute function and was able to substitute the “/ “to “,” =SUBSTITUTE(G30,"/",",",1) . Would you please modifying this formula to add the space between first name and last name?
Thanks for your time and help.

Try

This substitutes "/" with ", " <--notice the space after the comma
