I have a column which contains names in the format surname,firstname
I need to change this to firstname.surname
Can't see a text formula for this. Anyone know if there is one or an easy way to do this?
Thanks

You can use the "text to columns" function in the data menu to split the field into firstname and surname then it's easy enough to create what you need?

I haven't got excel on this machine to check but...
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(",",A1,1)) + "." + LEFT(A1, SEARCH(",",A1,1))
or something similar
