Text to Columns

[Guest]

I have a list of names that were split across 3 columns using the text to
columns feature. Does anyone know of an EASY way to tell Excel to move a
name into the third position if it is blank?

Example:
A B C
1 LastName MiddleInitial FirstName
2 Smith J Daniel
3 Taylor David
4 Pearson Tony

I have thousands of records and would like to find a way to quickly move
contents from the 2nd column to the 3rd IF that 3rd column is blank.

Idea's anyone?
Thanks!

In cell D2 put the following formula and copy it down as many rows as you
have data in columns A and B....

=IF(C2="",B2,C2)

Then do Copy > PasteSpecial > Values on the column D and delete the old
column C.....
