Splitting a Sentence by just adding a punctuation in the same field

I have this entire column where the list is of a location in the format -  Bombay IN. I'd like to change it to Bombay, IN.

 

is there any way to do this?

 

Your help would be great. I'm just a beginner so, in case this sounds stupid...Please do forgive.

So, I did solve my problem but not in the easiest manner possible.

 

I took the output to excel and just took the column I needed to change. Removed Duplicates and edited the contents in it (sort of creating a legend technique) then saved it as a file...used the find replace tool in alteryx and then just replaced those with the previous one.

Hi @ben_d_jacob 

 

Oh ok my above suggested method didnt work as expected ? It would be a easier workaround.

No it did not because on further investigation on my dataset..i realised that the column is not consistent at all...

 

so we have Bombay IN,

                   IN Bombay

                   Bombay city

                   and so on...so basically, it's my fault for not properly reviewing the dataset before posting my question.

 

But the good news is, I got to learn all these techniques right now which I was completely unaware of.
