Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to extract data from a sting without a delimiter using Regex. Could somebody please suggest an expression for creating the desired outcome in the attached document.
Thanks

A double space could be used as a delimiter, but your dataset is not consistent here (sometimes one column starts after just one space). The missing value is one column is also a problem.
I wouldn't even attempt to write a solution for this with just one row as an example.

Are you actually processing this dataset from an XLSX file or from a csv? Could you potentially send the data set in it's original filetype format and the prototype output as a two separate files?

Hi Emmanuel,
This looks really good! Although one small thing that I hope you can help with.
I need Recon. account to be included in the field name column and not in the CoCd column. The CoCd column should be blank in this example. Please see the desired output attached for reference.
Thanks
