Split columns by lowercase to uppercase
In Power Query, you can split a column through different methods. If your data contains CamelCased text or a similar pattern, then the column(s) selected can be split by every instance of the last lowercase letter to the next uppercase letter easily.
Where to find Split Columns > By Lowercase to Uppercase
You can find the Split Columns: By Lowercase to Uppercase option in three places:
Home tab—under the Split Column dropdown menu inside the Transform group.
Transform tab—under the Split Column dropdown menu inside the Text Column group.
Right-click a column—inside the Split Column option.
Split columns by lowercase to uppercase into columns
The initial table in this example will be the one shown in the image below, with one column for Word and an extra column named Syllables. You'll only focus on the first column.
This column holds two values in each row:
- FirstWord—The first half of the compound word.
- SecondWord—The second half of the compound word.
In this example, you want to split this column into the two columns described in the list above. Select the column and then select the option to split the column by lowercase to uppercase.
This single column will split into multiple columns, given every instance of the last lowercase letter to the next uppercase letter. In this case, it only splits into two columns.
Your final table will look like the following image.
