@BS_THE_ANALYST it's working but doesn't work if it is in Uppercase like this one:

 

addadd1add2
WEST YORKSHIRE BD5 7HFWESTYORKSHIRE BD5 7HF
BS_THE_ANALYST

14 - Magnetar

@jatienza can you try this regex instead:

 

^([a-zA-Z ]+)(?:\s+([A-Z0-9 ]*))?$

 

I can't test it using Alteryx as I'm out at the moment. Can you see if that code works!

All the best,
BS
