I have this query in which I need to break into 2 different columns. One for Salutation (Mr. and Mrs.; Ms. or Mr.) and the other for the first name.
I have tried splitting columns base on different delimiters, but can't seem to get it the way I want it. M code is out of my league, so any help the attached file would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Ken Mc

Hi Ken,

There's not really an elegant way to do this because the names are not consistently formatted. See attached.

Hey Mynda,

That was what I had problems with, but this will work perfectly. I will finish off on the table.
I sincerely appreciate your help with this.
