From: Emece on 2 Jun 2010 14:10 Thanks to all for your helpful replies. I need a little extra help. I noticed that there are some cases in which I have two names also. So I have the following options: two names and one surname, one name and two surnames, and two names and two surnames. Examples: John Steven Jackson John Jackson John Jackson Ville Which formulas are suitable for all options? I want to obtain names in one cell, surnames in other cell. Thanks again.
