To pull the last name out of a variable name list such as

 

Joe Smith

Alfred E. Newman

Josh Groban

Herman T. Munster

 

Use the following formula:

 

=RIGHT(C2,LEN(C2)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(C2," ","*",LEN(C2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C2," ","")))))

 

Where C2 is the location of the name that I want to pull apart.
