Here you go:
First Name:
LEFT(`name`, (INSTR(`name`, ' ')-1))
Last Name:
RIGHT(`name`, LENGTH(`name`)-INSTR(`name`, ' '))
Hope that helps,

Hi,
In Magic ETL, in the Edit Columns group of actions, you'll find 'Split Column' you can use this action to take a full name, and split it into a first and last name. (See image)
Hope that helps!

Hi Nick, I'm trying to split my column similarly however the data in the original column is formatted as, "Stretch Wrap & Strapping - Copy". I want to split this column such that the "Stretch Wrap & Strapping" is in one column and the other column reads, "Copy". I tried making my custom deliminator, " - " however the split column isnt working... any ideas on how to trouble shoot? Thanks!
