Copying String from multiple columns to one column

Hi Alteryx Community,

 

How would I filter out Fail messages from multiple columns and copy them to another column? The Fail messages can be anywhere in the field and they have a comma delimiter. 

Example - I'd like to copy and compile Fail messages from columns B to E into column A. The messages are separated by a comma and I'd like for them to be comma delimited once copied to column A as well. 

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi @jenettd 

 

It's not elegant but the attached should work - assuming the number of delimiters remain the same in all columns etc
