_samuel_ Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Hello everyone, I inherited a database with a field that included the names of contacts in this format: "LastName, FirstName" I know there has to be a simple calculation to reverse that to "FirstName LastName", but I cannot figure this out. Please help. Thanks.
comment Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 there has to be a simple calculation to reverse that to "FirstName LastName" Yes, there is. But I would suggest you split the names into separate fields first; then you can combine them any way you like using calculations. LastName = GetValue ( Substitute ( FullName ; ", " ; ¶ ) ; 1 ) FirstName = GetValue ( Substitute ( FullName ; ", " ; ¶ ) ; 2 )
