		<description>@Kaia: My solution will work only if the format is similar to what you mentioned in this website.

Steps:
1. Copy the below mentioned formula and paste it in the worksheet cell of your choice
2. Make the necessary changes in the formula to ensure that you are referring to the appropriate cell
3. Here, I am assuming that the name is listed in A1
4. After copy-paste and necessary changes, drag the formula across the worksheet as per your choice

Formula:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(&quot; &quot;,A1,1))&amp;&quot;, &quot;&amp;MID(A1,1,FIND(&quot; &quot;,A1,1)-2)

Note:
1. If there are any leading / succeeding spaces, suggest you to use wrap my formula in TRIM function of Excel to get appropriate results
2. Sorry, if the list of steps sound rudimentary -- wanted to be as clear as possible :-)

Let me know how it goes...</description>

		<description>@Julie, this can be done only through VBA code and it is mentioned below.  Came to this site only today.  Hope you still find this solution useful :-)

Important notes:
1. Code assumes that every last name has a &quot; &quot; (empty space) before it
eg:  Mr &amp; Mrs Douglas Winston &gt;&gt; code will return &gt;&gt; Winston

2. If the value in a cell does not have any spaces, code assumes that it is the last name and returns the entire content
eg: Mr.NoName &gt;&gt; code will return &gt;&gt; Mr.NoName (i.e. original value)

3. Code assumes that last name of a person is at the end of the string
eg: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe &gt;&gt; code assumes &gt;&gt; Doe is the last name  &gt;&gt; and returns &gt;&gt; Doe

Steps to make this work in your Excel sheet:
-------------------------------------------------
1. Copy the below code and paste it in a module within &quot;Visual Basic&quot; editor of your Excel workbook
2. Insert a blank column after the column which has the names listed
3. In the first cell, copy-paste &quot;=Find_Last_Occur(&quot; &quot;,A1)&quot;
Note1: without the quotes
Note2: A1 is with the assumption that your names are listed in column A.  Feel free to change it to reflect your own column and code will work fine
Note3: Find_Last_Occur is a user defined function i.e. the code written for resolving this
4. Drag the formula across the length of the names list so that, it can work for all the names
5. If you are using Excel 2007 / 2010 &gt;&gt; and want to save the VBA code, you need to save the workbook with .xlsm extension.  Else, you need to repeat steps 1 to 3 each time

Code to be saved in the VB Editor is mentioned below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Function Find_Last_Occur(sFind As String, _
  sInput As String) As String

    Dim Jr As Integer, Mid_Val As Integer, Find_Last As Integer
    Dim len100 As Long
    
    Application.Volatile
    Find_Last = 0
    Mid_Val = 0

    For Jr = 1 To 1000
        Mid_Val = InStr(Mid_Val + 1, sInput, sFind)
        If Mid_Val = 0 Then Exit For
        len100 = Len(sInput)
        sInput = Right(sInput, len100 - Mid_Val)
        If Mid_Val  0 Then Find_Last_Occur = Find_Last + 1
        Mid_Val = 0
    Next Jr
    Find_Last_Occur = sInput
    If Find_Last = 0 Then Exit Function
    
End Function</description>

		<description>@MAV

In the worksheet in which you have the formula &lt;&lt;&gt; set up -- make the following minor change.

In the name column, search for all single quotes (&#039;) and replace them with 2 single quotes (&#039;&#039;).
Note:  It is not a double quote.  They are 2 single quotes put beside each other without space between them.

This will totally resolve the issue that you face.  Please let me know if this does not.

		<description>Hi - I have a formula that references a cell in a name column for selecting a same-named worksheet tab as part of a cell-reference in the same-named worksheet.  The formula is as shown below and works great - except when the name is one that includes a quote mark, e.g. Frank O&#039;Hara.  How to adjust formula to fix this problem?

=SUM(INDIRECT(&quot;&#039;&quot;&amp;A2&amp;&quot;&#039;!$V$57&quot;))</description>
