To split column A into two columns, where one column contains the Chinese first name and the other column contains the remaining Chinese name, you can use the following steps:

  1. Insert two new columns next to column A. Let’s assume these new columns are B and C.
  2. Use the following formulas to split the names:
    • In cell B2 (for the first name):
      =LEFT(A2, 1)
    • In cell C2 (for the remaining name):
      =MID(A2, 2, LEN(A2) – 1)
  3. Copy the formulas down the columns to apply them to all rows.

This will split the names in column A into two columns, with the first name in column B and the remaining name in column C.
