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!

[@sekape4868]

I always spend night and night learning from you , My lord bless you so much

[@stopdrinkingleftskoolaid6510]

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

[@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?

[@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!

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 🙏

[@comforttimeheatingcooling8212]

Just skip to minute 1:43 for info you need

[@thecalendarninja]

😮Brilliant 👌

[@goodfay]

so grateful

[@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!!

[@richieconant8719]

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?

[@sharonmoore8501]

Great tutorial, but what if some of your names have middle initials?

[@hpftv3578]

VERY USEFULL THANK YOU

[@karenmiller9984]

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

[@ahsanmohammed1]

Thank you sir!

[@tracys9762]

What if there are middle initials or names included?

[@simonnebritto5108]

This was great!

[@pahlmwav]

What if people have multiple names? and the names are not separated by a comma.
Some people in my list have like 5 names, and all are just separated by space

[@yuta1696]

Love you thanks

[@user-fx7lz8eq6q]

[@glisten_skin]

Nice video

[@epresley8324]

THANK YOU!!!

[@nikhilparikh935]

i have two (A & B) columns with different name but some are same name so my question is how to separate similar name column (C) ?

[@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
//Paw

[@andrewspanganayi1196]

Please help i need to format my data from Andrew Pangson to A Panganson

[@1JGale]

Thank you!

[@jamesjaviermd]

Sir how about with two first names?

[@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

[@bluethecat5908]

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