    Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Please selec the text cells:", "Kutools for Excel", xAddress, , , , , 8)
    If xRg Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If xRg.Columns.Count > 1 Then
       MsgBox "Only one column in the seleted range", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"

    End If
    For Each xCell In xRg
        xStr = Trim(xCell.Value)
        xCell.Offset(0, 1) = Mid(xStr, InStrRev(xStr, " "))
        xCell.Value = Left(xStr, InStrRev(xStr, " "))

Extract last word to next adjacent cell with formula

If you just need to extract the last words from the text strings without moving them, the following formula can do you a favor.

Please enter this formula:

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","*",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",""))))) into a blank cell next to the text cell, and then drag the fill handle down to the cells which you want to extract the last word, all last words have been extracted from the text strings without moving the original ones.
