Excel Intermediate course
Surname list, to take out the first initial.
On the course we were shown how to split a cell that had the first initial with the surname but unfortunately I have forgot. Could you please refresh my mind, Many thanks
RE: Surname list, to take out the first initial.
Hi Lena
Thanks for getting in touch. You can split cells with the Text to Columns feature.
Highlight your list of names, go to Data and press Text to Columns. You will be asked whether to split cells based on a character ("delimited ") or at certain positions (" fixed width"). Then follow the wizard through.
Try this out and let us know how you get on.
Kind regards
