How do I fix the order of the names, when the last name is first and the
first name is second, separated by a comma.

Hi
try
=TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,255)) & " " & TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1))

Zami,

Another formula option in addtion to Frank's . . .

=MID(TRIM(H38),FIND(" ",TRIM(H38),1)+1,LEN(TRIM(H38)))&"
"&LEFT(TRIM(H38),(FIND(",",TRIM(H38))-1))

turns "Bowman, Frank" into "Frank Bowman".
