Excel string need to divide the Cap words from uncap words

[Charles101]

Hi,
Thanks in advance

I have an excel file that has a string of Uppercase & Lowercase words

example: PIZZA HUT Owner Charles
I need to separate my string of Uppercase & Lowercase words
cell 1 = PIZZA HUT
Cell 2 = Owner Charles (lowercase (except first letters)

my file isnt uniformed as some Uppercase or Lowercase words can be 1 word 2 , 3 , 4 words


any help would be appreciated

Charles

Hi, try:

Function FirstCap(Cell As Range)
    For FirstCap = 1 To Len(Cell.Value)
       If Mid(Cell.Value, FirstCap, 1) Like "[a-z]" Then Exit For
    Next FirstCap
End Function
'=LEFT(A2,FirstCap(A2)-3)

Give this UDF a try instead...

Function ALLCAPS(S As String) As String
  Dim X As Long
  For X = Len(S) - 1 To 1 Step -1
    If Mid(S, X, 2) Like "[A-Z][A-Z]" Then
      ALLCAPS = Left(S, X + 1)
      Exit For
    End If
  Next
End Function

HOW TO INSTALL UDFs
------------------------------------
If you are new to UDFs, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. You can now use ALLCAPS just like it was a built-in Excel function. For example,

=ALLCAPS(A1)

If you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.

Follow-Up: Assuming the name cell is A1 and you put the above formula in cell B1, then this formula in C1 will give you the remainder of the text...

=TRIM(REPLACE(A1,1,LEN(B1),""))

Hi Rick,
I was in middle of writing a followup question on how to get the remainder, but you beat me to it,
It works SUPER,
as a fellow New Jerseyan I thank you for your time & expertise
I will use these codes/formulas a lot
