    Re: Pulling specific text string from a cell

    Unfortunately that was not a mistake. Some of the names don't have spaces.

    Also I am sure there are names with two first names etc..but for the vast majority of them it is the standard "Last, First" format. I don't mind if it doesn't work for some.

    Re: Pulling specific text string from a cell

    Solved part of my own problem hah. I trimmed the cells to remove all the redundant spaces then I used =SUBSTITUTE(L2,RIGHT(L2,8),"")

    L2 being the cell with the issue. I used 8 because I noticed that they all had dates at the end with the 8 character format XX/XX/XX. Now I just need to pull the names. Any ideas?


    Cells now look like
