Seperate text into two cells

G

Guest

I have a large phone list excel worksheet with each person's first and last
name in one cell seperated by a space. How can I quickly seperate the name
into two cells (first name and last name) so I can import into a database?
Otherwise, I need to cut and paste the entire list.

Data>Text to Columns, choose "delimited" and check the space character as
separator

Make sure there are two empty columns to the right of your name column.
Then use the Data / Text to Columns function with "Space" as th
delimiter.
