There are lots of similar pattern of data in the file. I have just created a random sample of the file.

I want to convert all these data to separate columns. My output should look like this:

Hi @dizy_11 

Here is how you can do it. I am assuming to similar blocks like this one below other.

Workflow:

1. In Input tool configure it to First rows contains data like below.

2. Using Multi-row formula tool to create blockID/rowID on each occurrence of "Address" keyword in row.

3. Using summarize tool to concat rows for each blockID.

4. Using data cleanse tool to remove extra spaces.

5. Using regex tool to parse the data.

Hope this helps : )
