formula in A2 will be
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH("and",A1)-1)
formula lin A3 will be
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH("and",A1)-3)
you can copy the formula along the rows
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH("and",A1)-1)
formula lin A3 will be
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH("and",A1)-3)
you can copy the formula along the rows

-----------A1-------------------------------------:----------B1-------------------------:------C1
James X. Brian and Timothy F. Brian--:-- James X. and Timothy F -- : --- Brian

see this url
https://www.mrexcel.com/archive/general/finding-last-occurrence-of-character-in-string/
in C1 type this formula (yes first in C1)
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH("@",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","@",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
in B1 type or copy paste this formula
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(C1)-1)
you can copy the formulas down.

thank you so much for the formula, i saw the 2 name got split into separate column
(James X. Brian and Timothy F. Brian <---> James X. Brian <----> Timothy F. Brian)
could you let me know if is possible to make all the first and middle initial into same column ?
Ex.:
A1 First name Last name
James X. Brian and Timothy F. Brian James X. and Timothy F. Brian
Thank you so very much for your help.
