Hi @GeneR ,

 

I managed to get the answer using formula/regex (like others I didn't have access to any street lookups). I got zip / state very quickly but the 'City' proved a little more challenging given the number of words for the street / city. There's a bit of an assumption that 'roads' will definitely end in a certain name such as 'street' or 'circle'. For this case it's easy to fix but it doesn't make it a workflow that will work in all instances (or even in the UK) so I didn't really like what I'd done. Still fun though.

Great to use the built-in Alteryx Address blocks!

I was hoping for a more dynamic solution, but it seems that replacing the "Street" types with delimiters was the easiest way to go.
