Hello Community -
I am looking to split one of my columns by a delimiter (comma), however, some of the text strings use a comma for grammatical purposes. Is there a way to split a column by comma that is followed by a space and capital letter? See small sample of data below:
Current Data:
First-Aid Provided On Site? | Body Part(s) |
Yes | Hand(s), (not wrist, fingers, thumb) |
Yes | Lower Extremities-Foot, Lower Extremities-Lower Leg, Lower Extremities-Upper Leg |
Yes | Body Systems & Multiple Body Systems |
Yes | Upper Extremities-Hand, Upper Extremities-Thumb, Upper Extremities-Wrist |
What I need to see once the column is split:
First-Aid Provided On Site? | Body Part(s).1 | Body Part(s).2 | Body Part(s).3 |
Yes | Hand(s), (not wrist, fingers, thumb) | ||
Yes | Lower Extremities-Foot | Lower Extremities-Lower Leg | Lower Extremities-Upper Leg |
Yes | Body Systems & Multiple Body Systems | ||
Yes | Upper Extremities-Hand | Upper Extremities-Thumb | Upper Extremities-Wrist |
Is there anyway to acheive this in Power Query so we can properly split the column by the correct comma delimiter?
Thank You Community!

@ryan_b_fiting , you have split the column by delimiters, But that is going to create 2 columns for first one , So you might have to remove the comma in first one based on some logic

@amitchandak thanks for the reply, but this does not provide any value for my issue unfortunatley. I am fully aware of how to split columns by a delimiter, but I am looking for a more advanced solution that will allow be to properly split based on my original post.
Thanks again.
