Concatenating Multi-value Field.

mike_weaver

I am trying to concatenate two fields, one of which has multiple values, separated by comma.

 

I have this:

1a,b,c
2a,b
3a,b,c,d

 

What I'd like to get to is:

1-a,1-b,1-c

2-a,2-b

3-a,3-b,3-c,3-d

 

I'm not quite sure how to get there and any help would be appreciated.

Hi @mike_weaver ,

 

I've mocked a workflow that answers your question. Please let me know if that's your desired solution.

@AngelosPachis gives a very flow.

And I tried with one Formula tool. Hope you can accept it.

That is nice, Qiu. So it grabs every one that starts with a comma first, then gets the first character.

 

I will definitely remember that.
