Separate first and last name from a field.
Hello everyone, I have one column called FullName, so I'm need to separate the first and last names into separate columns. How can I do that in SharePoint? Thank you in advance.
Hello @RobElliot ,
I am sorry to contradict you, but it is possible.
Here are the formulas for those who need them.
First Name
LEFT(FullName,FIND(" ",FullName)-1)
Last Name
RIGHT(FullName,LEN(FullName)-FIND(" ",FullName))
I hope it is helpful.
Have a good one,
ADumith you won't be able to do this just in SharePoint, you'll need to use a flow in Power Automate to do this with a couple of split expressions.
