JSON column formatting extract first and last name from @me

Can we extract other information from me? For example, rather than getting the email address, I'd like to only display the First and/or Last names. I tried @me.givenname and others but didn't work. ...

This is the best I can find to extract first and last name, hopefully all email addresses have the same convention.

replace(substring(@me, 0, indexOf(@me, '@')), '.', ' ')

This code worked brilliantly for me, however there was a slight issue. If the logged in user's email is not already capitalised in the format Firstname.Lastname@... the code won't capitalise the first letters. Is there possibly a work around that would capitalise the letters of a name from the email format firstname.lastname@... ?

DoraL420 Currently, there is no default operator/function available in SharePoint JSON formatting to auto-capitalize first letter in the word.

SharePoint JSON formatting currently only supports toLowerCase() and toUpperCase() to convert string into all lower case and upper case. Also, these operators/functions are only supported in SharePoint Online and not in SharePoint 2019.
