How do you parse Germany zip codes from an address?

Hello All 🖐,

I am trying to use regex or any formula to parse the Germany Zip Codes from the Cities in the first column. I want to make sure they each have their own column, see desired outcome below. What is the best approach for this?

 

 

Starting Data:

Billing City / DistrictBilling Country
D-12345 KarlsruheGermany
23456 BaesGermany
D-98745 LauGermany

 

 

Desired Outcome:

Billing City / DistrictBilling Zip CodeBilling Country
KarlsruheD-12345Germany
Baes23456Germany
LauD-98745Germany

Can you also use text to column with delimiter as " " and then rename columns?

Hello @AdwaitTarudkar ,

I did try using " " as a delimiter in the text to columns tool but some of the cities that I have also have two words and it would split them up in the wrong place. For example 12345 New York  would split in between New and York.
