It looks like this is similar to your need; with a little modification of course https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/824-excel-flip-first-last-name.html.
=UPPER(REPLACE(MID(B2&", "&B2,FIND(",",B2)+2,LEN(B2)),FIND(",",MID(B2&", "&B2,FIND(",",B2)+2,LEN(B2))),1," "))

ChrisMendoza, mathetes , Abiola1 Thanks so much for the fast responses!! I had this formula: MID(B1&" "&B1,FIND(", ",B1)+1,LEN(B1))), which worked great for changing the names, but I couldn't figure out where to put the UPPER function. I kept wanting to show it as UPPER(B1). I finally found it online before I checked my messages here!
UPPER(MID(B1&" "&B1,FIND(", ",B1)+1,LEN(B1))).
