Formula Left Question

I have a field in one of my reports that represents a representative's name. The field is called name_display. Its formatted as a string with a lenght of 108 as lastname, firstname. I don't need the entire name, but would like to have just the last name. Is there a way I can use the left function to just extract the portion that contains the last name before the comma?
