Excel Split Names Tutorial

My entire playlist of Excel tutorials: bit.ly/tech4excel Learn how to split names in Excel. Sometimes in Excel you end up with too much information in one column, for example first and last names in the same column. This tutorial will show you how to deal with that and easily split the data into two columns so you can more easily sort and filter the data. #excel #splitnames ***Consider supporting Technology for Teachers and Students on Patreon***: / technologyforteachersa...

Dude, just wanted to say that you're frickin' awesome, you've saved me a lot of time and taught me so much in so little time than any teacher did in High School and College! Thanks a lot!

You can also use “flash fill”. In column B1, just type the fist name then in column B2, type in the first name again. Flash fill recognizes the pattern and will “flash fill” the rest of the column for you. You can move the B column over and repeat the process for the last name.
Flash fill should ignore any delimiters since you didn’t type them into the cell

You’re videos are amazing! Any way to do this, but reverse? For instance, if I wanted to take two columns and reduce it to one column separated by a comma let’s say?

Dear Sir, this video will help me. Thanks.

[@Balsero-qb9gv]

Thank you very much for this video!! I have a question please, how can I separate the names if they have a minus symbol (-) in between? Example: John-Smith
Thank you so much!!

[@karenmiller9984]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@roberthemmelgarn6884]

Great explanation. In a list that I have, some names have a salutation other do not, how are they separated. i.e. Mr. Johnny Jones, Sammy Smith

[@pawjeppesen-ifttttricks605]

Great video(s), you are doing. You are werry good at teaching. Keep up the good work!
What if I want to do the opposite, like a sheet where i have a songtitle in column a and artist in b, and want to “merge” those two, in order to export to say Spotify? Sometimes the exporting is messed up, if a song is made by more than one artist. Thanks

[@divyansuagarwal]

Hey love your videos but can you use spreadsheets bigger in size, like thousands of rows. It gives a more practical approach and it makes it easy when we encounter large spreadsheets. Cheerrs!

[@smuq7359]

English is not my native language.... but your videos are so simple to understand... thank you so much!

[@melanieafable7016]

[@CornerstoneTint]

Not all heroes wear capes - THANK YOU!

[@daveh1819]

So I have a column of mixed names. Some have middle names or initials, some just have first and last. So what I end up with is column B with last names and middle names, and column C with some last names, and some blanks. Is there a way to set the tool to go from right to left so all last names would be in the same column?

[@priyaamit4082]

What Version is your computer?

[@kkkkit]

Fab! A coworker sent me a data splitter for dates. So you just put in date so 11/11/22 and it splits it into 3 columns automatically. How do I do that for names without having to go through these steps, is there a way? Thank you 🙏

[@bluethecat5908]

How can you separate the first name with space like Fernandez, John Daniel?

[@kruka86]

I use a Mac at home and my school provides its staff with Microsoft online, so the Excell version I have is very limited
