I need to extract data from an excel file that comes as single or multiple strings separated by semicolons, into a list of the individual strings without the semicolons. I'm figuring RegEx is my start point but I'm not too strong with that tool and can't figure it out.
Here's my example:
What I have | What I need |
ABCDEFG; | ABCDEFG |
ABCDEFG; HIJKLMNO; | HIJKLMNO |
ABCDEFG; HIJKLMNO; PQRSTU; | PQRSTU |
ABCDEFG; HIJKLMNO; PQRSTU; VWXYZ12; | VWXYZ12 |
891011A; QWERTY; UIOP; | 8910111A |
ABCDEFG; HIJKLMNO; PQRSTU; VWXYZ12; 34567A; | 34567A |
QWERTY | |
UIOP |
In theory there could be no limit to the number of individual strings within the cells so i'd like something that could manage that, although so far I've only seen 4 or 5 at a time in my data.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can split to rows as well - put a record ID tool before the parse and you can tie the rows back.
Delimiters! Of course. Thank you!
