Proper Capitalization only before delimiter

Hello,

 [I wrote this question out and forgot about it. Here is the solution. Since I was already concatenating two columns I just added a bit to the M function.]

 

= Text.Combine({Text.Proper([City]),[State]},", ")

My data looks something like this:

 

CityState:

 

Portland, OR

PORTLAND, OR

Seattle, WA

SEATTLE, WA

LOS ANGELES, CA

Los Angeles, CA

 

I would like it all to follow "proper" capitalization for the City but maintain the state abbreviations as capitalized as follows

 

Portland, OR

Portland, OR

Seattle, WA

Seattle, WA

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles, CA

 

None of the standard formatting options seem to work as "Capitalize Each Word" results with "OR" as "Or" and "WA" as "Wa" etc.

    Replying to myself just to mark this as solved.

     

    = Text.Combine({Text.Proper([City]),[State]},", ")

     

    Text.Proper is what did the trick.
