Embedded new lines

Nithinpanicker

Hi everyone,

 

I have a cell which contains embedded new lines. This cell basically has a summary of all work that has been done on a ticket. This may include communication through chat, emails and updates pertaining to the ticket. This information is extracted from SNOW as a csv file which serves as the input for Alteryx. I need to use these cells from the column to look for certain keywords and phrases for analysis in Alteryx. But when I am outputting the information only the first line is being extracted. How do I make the whole data appear in every cell. 

 

Thanks and regards,

Nithin

@Nithinpanicker when you use \0 as a delimiter it will combine each line into filed then you need to parse using a text-column tool or regex. Would you be able to upload a sample input file?

Hi @binuacs 

 

Here you go. This is just a stripped down version of the actual file. But when you input this file into alteryx you can see that the whole data from the "comments and work notes" column is not being read.

@Nithinpanicker attaching the workflow, please review the output and check what is missing

Hi @binuacs 

 

I see that the columns are back in order. However the data represented underneath is not. All the data from the other columns follow a similar structure. But here you can see parts of the comments and work notes column appearing in other columns as well. Is there a way to fix that?

@Nithinpanicker I used the , delimiter and working as expected

Hi @binuacs 

 

Can you tell me the exact step by step actions you did to achieve this?

Can you send a screenshot of the dynamic rename settings you used.

 

I am unable to download the file you posted. :(
