Question

I’m working with Ms. Excel. I have a cell contains a person name. Eg :

Name
-------------------
Barack Hussein Obama

Is there any formulas to truncate the text in the cell so that it gives result as follows :

First Name            Middle Name             Last Name
------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrack               Hussein                 Obama

Answer 1

If your data always has

1. Three names
2. No leading or trailing spaces
3. One and only one space between names

then you can use these formulas (Full name in col A)

First Name (col B)  
=LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1)   

Middle Name (col C)
=MID(A2,LEN(B2)+2,LEN(A2)-LEN(B2)-LEN(D2)-2) 

Last Name (col D)
=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(" ",A2,LEN(B2)+2))
