Adding space tabs to the code in 1 cell

Roche

Hi everyone, 

 

I have an API query that I would like to send, but it seems like the one thing that is missing is the tabs that are used.  In my data there are no tabs when I construct this format using the data.  I have red solutions at this link: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/How-to-add-a-tab-in-the-middle-of-a-te... and understand that CharToInt(9) is the way to create a tab (which is 8 spaces).  However, the tab lengths that I need needs to be 2, 4 or 6 spaces in length.  Is there a way to create tabs of this length?  I tried CharToInt(3), however I see that it converts it to the corresponding unicode character.

 

Here is an example of the format:

 

{

  "cust_Data_In": {

    "userId": "",

    "actionCode": "",

    "partner_ID": "",

    },

    "address_In": {

      "firm": "Incredible",

      "address1": "15 Main",

      "city": "G",

    }

  }

}

 

Thank you for helping, 

 

Rouche

Hey @Roche,

Where would you like to add the tabs to the data? I may be mistaken but a tab is one character, how it is rendered is just dependent on the editor:

The simplest way to add tabs in designer with the formula tool:

Any questions or issues please ask :)
HTH!
