    Find position of the first lowercase in cell

    I have in the first column something like this:

    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION1 Particular description1
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION1 Particular description2
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2 Particular description1
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2 Particular description2

    I want to to have in the second column:

    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION1
    Particular description1
    Particular description2
    GLOBAL DESCRIPTION2
    Particular description1
    Particular description2

    So far I have this: +IF(EXACT(A1;UPPERCASE(A1));A1;+RIGHT(A1;LEN(A1)-(FIND(X;A1;1)-1)))

    X standing for the position of the first lowercase, which I don't know how to get.

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    jraj1106, I'm afraid your code doesn't work.

    The file I'm using is a Bill Of Quantities (BOQ). The scheme I used was to illustrate the organization of the BOQ, every cell has a different value.

    twiggy, I can't make your work either, but I'm not sure what info I should put in the ROW function! I uploaded a sample of the file.
