I presently have a column setup displaying a name like this: Smith, Sue. Is there a formula that will automatically reverse the cell to read: Sue Smith?
 
Assuming data starts in A1 and you don't have to worry about other initials, in B1 put

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1)-1)

and copy down.
