Splitting a Full Name into First and Last Names
Struggling with name columns in Excel? Here’s the simplest way to clean up your data and split names with precision.
This Excel video teaches you how to split a full name into first and last names using a simple function.
Imagine you have a list of full names in one column, and you want to separate them into two columns: one for first names and one for last names. The video shows you a formula to achieve this.
It uses the FIND function to locate the space between the first and last names, and then the LEFT function to extract characters from the full name before that space.
The video also explains how the functions work together and clarifies that any titles like "Ms." or "Mr." should be removed before applying this formula.
