Hello guys 🙂

 

I have a problem to clean and sort my data. For an example, In 1 column contains 3 different variables such as state, occupation, and add sources. So how can I do to separate the data to 3 others group specifically. Pls help me guys.

Hi @aufa_shakir ,

 

Thank you for your question to the Community!

 

I moved your post to the Designer Discussions forum where you can ask anything about Designer. 

 

This article "Q&A: Where Do I Post My Questions?" should also help you out. 

 

Let us know how it goes!

Cheers,

Thanks @StephV  for moving the post in the discussion pages.

 

Hi @aufa_shakir 

 

Is there a particular character that repeats itself between the different variables? In the following example you can see that my different variables are separated by a "-", so that can act as a delimiter to split to different columns

 

State-Occupation-AddSources

 

Providing a sample of the data or at least a mock sample of the data usually helps in answering your question. By the sound of it you will probably have to use a Text to Columns tool.

 

Cheers,

 

Angelos

This is what I want from my question previously. I'm not good in English. Sorry my bad. But I hope you can understand the table that i give to you above.

 

Just Beginner,
