You can split names using Extract Data From Values with a custom regex pattern. For your specific case with firstname (normal case) and lastname (ALL CAPS): 1. Add a new column using Add Column 2. Use Extract Data From Values to process your name data 3. Apply a custom extraction regex that identifies the pattern between normal case and ALL CAPS text Alternatively, you can use an AI column like ChatGPT Generate Text with pre-built prompts to normalize and split the names into separate fields. This will split the values into separate components that you can then send to different columns.

Hi Pierre, thank you for reaching out. We can do this using formulas on Clay. However, this will depend on the formatting of the full name cell. Pierre - Do you mind sending the link (url) to the table so we can take a look?

Use this Excel formula:
=PROPER(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)) ← First Name =UPPER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))) ← Last Name
Example If cell A1 has: John DOE Output: First Name: John Last Name: DOE
