Default text to columns using capital letters

You have your work cut out for you. assume JoshCraig is in cell A5
Put the formula =lower(a5) in cell B5

Now you need to strip off each character 1 at a time - and convert to code
(=Code) Then you can compare corresponding character (J to j - these
will match which is why you need the =Code function). It can be done, but
it's not pretty so unless you have a lot of data, you might consider the
manual solution.

I had a bit of a look but couldn't find an answer to this question:

How do I go about separating text into columns using a capital letter as the
delimiter?

For example:

So 'JoshCraig' in A1 becomes 'Josh' in A1 and 'Craig' in B1.

The problem arises because my data doesn't have spaces between first and
last names.
