Parse figures in columns of another dataset

Hello

 

I'm a newbie. I'm trying to parse data and applying columns name from another dataset.

 

Basically I have one data set where I have all my columns name

 

ABCD
0000

 

Another one where I have my data

Data column
Data 1 2 3 4
Other data 1 2 3 4
More Data 1 2 3 4

 

I have been able parse data using regex tool separating text from figures. My issue is that I have to rename manually my columns in the regex output tool instead of applying automatically the columns names from my 1st dataset. 

 

I would like my output to be like this:

 

Data columnABCD
Data1234
Other data1234
More Data1234

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer me

Hello @Ben92500,

 

Depending on how the data really is the process can change a lot.

 

Anyways, here is a way to do it.

Hi @afv2688 

 

Thanks for your help!

 

The data is composed of a text description followed by numbers separated by spaces.

 

I've attached below a workflow of what I'm trying to achieve

 

I would like to paste automatically the headers made with the crosstab on the result of my parsing with regex. Let me know if it isn't clear!

Hello @Ben92500,

 

hope it helps now. I think what you want to use in this case is the dynamic rename tool.

Thanks to both of you, it was exactly what I was looking for !

 

I was wondering if it was possible to keep the name of the first column ("Data Columns") of my dataset, or should I just add manually the name in the "header" data set in the first line.

 

Let me know if it isn't clear
