Hello,
I am trying to parse out a csv in Alteryx with "," as my delimiter in text to columns tool. However, for some rows, it is stop parsing after a while.
for example this is the input:
22000,04/18/2023,04/18/2023,49239370-00,Bill - LOCKE SUPPLY CO.: 3/4" PEX BALL VALVE BRASS,Plumbing,,"Water Air, Plumbing and Electric",19351,APJ,10.78,,-3301.52
I have the output in the screenshot attached. it stops parsing after Plumbing and electric.
Hoping to find a solution for this.
@Farriyajawed
while using Text to Column,
check the advance option, ignore delimiters in Quotes.
this will solve the problem.please maek it as done if this solves the problem.
ignore delimeters in quotes.
@Farriyajawed increase the number of columns, does that help resolve the issue?
@Farriyajawed this works perfectly fine.
Raj, you workflow leaves everything in column 6 whereas everything needs to be parsed and" -3301.52" should be in last column
@Farriyajawed i reffered to the screen shot you added.
kindly add the required output, will help
Here you go!
You have an unmatched quote. Your data is wrong. You cannot do what you are doing with an unmatched quote.
change:
22000,04/18/2023,04/18/2023,49239370-00,Bill - LOCKE SUPPLY CO.: 3/4" PEX BALL VALVE BRASS,Plumbing,,"Water Air, Plumbing and Electric",19351,APJ,10.78,,-3301.52
to
22000,04/18/2023,04/18/2023,49239370-00,"Bill - LOCKE SUPPLY CO.: 3/4" PEX BALL VALVE BRASS,Plumbing,,"Water Air, Plumbing and Electric",19351,APJ,10.78,,-3301.52
