Contact List - Extract last name

amberman

Hi Guys,

I can extract the first name using =LEFT(Contact@row, FIND(" ", Contact@row) - 1) but changing LEFT for RIGHT doesnt extract the last name correctly in all cases, but does in some. Quite confusing. Not sure here...

Contact column has first name and surname combined, separated by a space.

I'm trying to separate them into First and last name for mailing personalisation.

Appreciate any help.

Hi @amberman,

Try this for last name:

=MID(Contact@row, FIND(" ", Contact@row), 100)

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ramzi
