break a single column into multiple based on empty row or specific character
Hi,
can someone provide advice?
I have a column with structure below:
1
2
3
a
b
c
d
e
f
xx
yy
zz
is it possible to divide to multiple columns based on empty row (or a repeated same character)
1 a xx
2 b yy
3 c zz
d
e
f
2 REPLIES 2

Re: break a single column into multiple based on empty row or specific character
Hi,
One way to achieve this is creating an indicator column with the formula below:
If( Row() == 1,
1,
If( Is Missing( Lag( :Column 1, 1 ) ),
Lag( :SPLIT, 1 ) + 1,
Lag( :SPLIT, 1 )
)
)
And then split your original column (Split Table) using the new indicator column as Split By variable (see attached)
I hope it helps.
Best,
TS
