Functions and Wildcard search in Excel to extract first name, middle name and last name from given name in Excel

Functions can be a bit time consuming but they are good for dynamic data. But if your data is static you can use the wild card searches as is shown in the video.

At times, you may want to use certain string matching or search functions — like SEARCH — without knowing exactly what you're looking for. For example, you may want to search for a state that begins with the word "New" — but match against all possible outcomes, including "New Hampshire", "New York", and "New Jersey". To do this, you can use something called a "wildcard" character to tell Excel that you're looking for something, but you're not exactly sure what yet.
