good morning all. i have a text column that has names as LastFirst but they together and i need to split them into 2 columns. is there a way to use "text to columns" using a change in text case as a delimiter? for example

SmithJoe in 1 columns needs to be Smith Joe in 2 columns.

note: doesnt have to be done via "text to columns" was just using that as an example

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You can't do it with text to columns, but you could use

B2B2=TEXTBEFORE(A2,CHAR(SEQUENCE(26,,65)),2)
C2C2=SUBSTITUTE(A2,B2,"")
