Please I need help with this. I have series of values like this -- Animals,
Domestic. How do I change them all to be like this Domestic Animals. Thus, I
want to remove all commas and swap the first word to the last.

The above is an example. I have multiples of various information like this.

All help totally appreciated.

Thanks
 
Hi,

With your string in A1

First part
=LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)

Second part
=LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)

I really meant

=TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,LEN(A1)))

For the second part

Assuming column A has your data, and assuming ALL data is in the format of
"word, word" (comma and space separator, and only 1 comma in each data item).

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)
 
As long as there are 2 words separated by a comma you can use

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


Adjust to fit your cell ranges and copy down, then copy and paste special as
values either over the old values or better in place and make sure
everything went OK

Give this a try...

=MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-1)
