Split Names add-on for Google Sheets

Splitting full names into separate components in Google Sheets can be tedious—but not anymore! With only a few clicks, the Split Names add-on may extract name components, such as first, middle, and last names, titles, and suffixes, into distinct columns. This office tool employs a sophisticated algorithm to handle even complex name structures, such as those with prefixes, postfixes, or mixed formatting, in contrast to Google’s simple “Split text to columns” option, which necessitates human delimiter selections and repeated procedures. You may easily construct well-organized data tables with its clear findings and support for more than 80 name suffixes.

Standard spreadsheet tools cannot equal the Split Names add-on’s amount of customisation, whether you’re managing a mailing list or organizing customer data. By selecting which name sections to extract—for example, only the last names for analysis—you can make sure that only pertinent data is divided into new columns. The add-on manages headers with ease, protecting your data structure, and even offers a synopsis of the split procedure for simple validation. Split Names add-on for Google Sheets is ideal for users that value accuracy and time savings in their data management workflows.
