Is there a way I can switch a last name, first name to first name an
last name? i.e... Smith, John to John Smith

I'd greatly appreciate some assistance
 
Hi
if they are always divided by a coma use the following
formula:
=TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,255)) & " " & TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND
(",",A1)-1))
 
Hi jkb724!

Probably the easiest approach is to use Data > Text to Columns.
 
One way:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND
(",",A1)-1)
