I have an error in this excel formula and I can't just figure it out:
=LEFT(B3,FIND(",",B3&",")-1)&","&RIGHT(B3,LEN(B3)-FIND("&",B3&"&")),RIGHT(B3,LEN(B3)-SEARCH("@",SUBSTITUTE(B3," ","@",LEN(B3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B3," ",""))))&", "&SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(B3,LEN(B3)-FIND("&",B3&"&")-1),RIGHT(B3,LEN(B3)-SEARCH("@",SUBSTITUTE(B3," ","@",LEN(B3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B3," ",""))))),""))
It may seem like a big formula, but all it's intended to do is if no ampersand is in a cell, return an empty cell, if no comma but ampersand exists, then return this, for example:
KNUD J & MARIA L HOSTRUP
into this:
HOSTRUP,MARIA L
Otherwise, there is no ampersand but there is a comma so we just return: LEFT(A1,FIND("&",A1,1)-1).
Seems basic, but formula has been giving me error message and doesn't point to the problem.
