Question : Excel - How to split a fullname column into seperate firstname and surname columns

Hi,
In an excel spreadsheet I have a list of about 3000 full names in a single column. eg "Firstname Lastname".

I want to split this field into two so that I have a Firstname and a Lastname field.

Can I do this automatically in excel?

Regards
Mitch

Answer : Excel - How to split a fullname column into seperate firstname and surname columns

if your data is in column A then enter this formulas in columns b and c or any other blank columns

=left(A1, find(A1," ")-1)
=right(A1,len(A1)-len(B1)-1)
