How to split multi-part names in Excel, 3 easy steps:

Imagine that you have an Excel spreadsheet like column A in the screenshot above.

Let's see how the Split Names add-in for Microsoft Excel will clean up the mess.

Select the needed range and click the Split Names icon. You can select just one cell within the column to save time and this smart add-in will catch up the entire column.
Choose the parts into which you want to separate names in Excel. You have the following options: First name, Middle name, Last name, Salutation / Title, and Name suffix / post-nominal letters. You can choose to add just one new column, or all available columns:
