The tricky part about this is the that it must be done in only 2 cells, all
of the example given in the Excel tutorials are using one cell for each name,
one for the first and one for the last. That however, does not help me. I
must convert these names in singles cells like such From:CELL1--[Smith,
John] To:CELL2--[John Smith]. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE....1000 Thanks.

Try this:

=MID(A1,FIND(quot;,quot;,A1,1) 2,1024)amp;quot; quot;amp;LEFT(A1,FIND(quot;,quot;,A1,1)-1)

It's difficult to tell from your post but, assuming the first and last
names are separated by a comma then a space

=MID(A1amp;quot; quot;amp;A1,FIND(quot;,quot;,A1) 2,LEN(A1)-1)--
