Removing commas and put first name first

KellyHunka 

With your permission, if I can recommend. It can help us all if you upload an Excel file (without sensitive data), no picture. So you could get a precise solution much faster. This would also be a blessing for us, as we can understand the problem much better, a win-win situation for everyone.

* Knowing the Excel version and operating system would also be an advantage.

Not the less I would like to try to give you some information about the possible possibilities.

One possibility could be VBA

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Count > 1 Or Target.Column <> 6 Then Exit Sub
    If InStr(Target, ",") > 0 Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Target = Replace(Target, ",", "")
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
End Sub

' You just have to change the columns / cells according to your needs.

A second possibility is to try a formula, here is an example (which you should also adapt):

Here's a simple formula that will get the job done correctly: = LEFT (NN, SEARCH ("", NN) - 1) 

where NN is the cell that stores the name.

The -1 is there to remove the extra space or comma at the end of the string.

Thank you for your understanding and patience

I would be happy to know if I could help.
