Default Changing the order of a name in various cells

I have a column with over 400 rows of names that most contain names reading last name first then a comma then a persons first name. Such as Sullivan, Mike. How can I change the order to read first name then last name without the comma? Such as Mike Sullivan.

Thank you for looking.

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