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

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
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,"")
