    This addresses many of the unexpected variants in a first Name, middle initial, commas or periods and Last Name that will help sort by last name correctly. Very simple yet powerful presentation on your video. Thank You!

    Outstanding. Most people take on easy problems. This is a hard problem. Imagine a column filled with electronic component numbers. Think about sorting based on just one subunit of those names. Nobody does video on meaningful problems like that.

    Hi Sumit.. great video. A quick solution that comes to mind for me is to use Flash Fill to extract the last names. That said, your formula solution is brilliant and for the robust and dynamic nature of it, I would use it every time, unless working with a very simplistic list. Really appreciate you sharing these tips and techniques. You make all of us more productive with each new video. Thank you sir and Thumbs up!

    • @trumpexcel
      @trumpexcel  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for commenting Wayne.. I wrote a tutorial about the same topic and included Flash Fill as one of the solutions. trumpexcel.com/sort-by-last-name-excel/
      But I have not added it in the video as it was not able to identify the pattern in some cases. And in some cases, it identified the wrong pattern.

    also try this formula incase there is space (may be by mistake) at he end =RIGHT(TRIM(A2);LEN(TRIM(A2))-FIND("@";SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2);" ";"@";LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A2);" ";"")))))

    Use flash fill… takes 10 seconds and is in your drop down menus already.
