Hi

I have a large data base with 8 columns (imported from the web)
The data consists of names in uppercase and titles in propercase.
The name could be in 1,2 or 3 columns and also the titels coud be spread in more columns.

The goal is to join the uppercase words in one cell and the propercase words in another.

ex 4 columns

1/ LENNY |KRAVITZ |Black And White |America

ex 3 columns
2/ THE KOOKS | Junk Of The | Heart

should be converted in

1/ LENNY KRAVITZ | Black And White America
2/ THE KOOKS | Junk Of The Heart

etc

Thanks in advance for your help

Kind regards

Al

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
This macro will create your items in columns J:K

Code:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Binary   'case sensitive

Sub Reformat()
Dim LR As Long, rw As Long, BUF As String, buf2 As String
Dim RNG As Range, NmStr As Range

LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("J:K").ClearContents

For rw = 2 To LR
    Set RNG = Rows(rw).SpecialCells(xlConstants)
    For Each NmStr In RNG
        If NmStr = UCase(NmStr) Then
            BUF = BUF & " " & NmStr
        Else
            buf2 = buf2 & " " & NmStr
        End If
    Next NmStr
    Range("J" & rw) = Trim(BUF)
    Range("K" & rw) = Trim(buf2)
    BUF = ""
    buf2 = ""
Next rw
            
Range("J:K").Columns.AutoFit
End Sub

Here is another macro for you to consider...

Code:
Sub CombineAllUpperCaseAndAllProperCase()
  Dim X As Long, Z As Long, LastCol As Long, Cell As Range, Upper As String, Proper As String
  Const StartRow As Long = 2
  Const FirstOuputColumn As String = "G"
  For X = StartRow To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    LastCol = Cells(X, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
    Upper = ""
    Proper = ""
    For Z = 1 To LastCol
      If Not Cells(X, Z).Value Like "*[!A-Z ]*" Then
        Upper = Upper & Cells(X, Z) & " "
      Else
        Proper = Proper & Cells(X, Z) & " "
      End If
    Next
    Cells(X, FirstOuputColumn).Value = Trim(Upper)
    Cells(X, FirstOuputColumn).Offset(, 1).Value = Trim(Proper)
  Next
End Sub
