    so this works for this example, but it is not dynamic for others....unless the whole data set follows this format...

    A small UDF will work:

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Re: Trying to add spaces between capitalized words with a formula

    UDF = User Defined Function.

    You need to paste that code into a module of your workbook:
    - Open the Visual Basic Editor (You're on Excel 2011 for Mac, right? See this link for details of how to do this step)
    - Click Insert > Module
    - Paste my code into the blank module that appears (Module1)
    You may now close the Visual Basic Editor, to return to your workbook.


    You can then use the function in your workbook, as a formula:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: Trying to add spaces between capitalized words with a formula

    I couldn't try the UDF because I the section where I needed to paste it gave an error. I did dsome research and it looks like I somehow did not install VBA when I initially installed Excel years back . So, I'll try and remedy that and then try it and report back. Much Thanks
