Hello,
I am trying to parse the attached unstructured data set into structured columns. I am having trouble since I need to parse both rows and columns. The example output data tab is how I'm hoping to structure the data.
This data was originally in a text file which I copy and pasted into an Excel file. If a solution could be created using only the text file, that would be appreciated too.
Thank you in advance for your time and any guidance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I’ll take a look when I’m on my computer, but you could also adjust the
Tile tool to reflect the number of rows. It’s currently set up to slit into
2 groups.
And yes, Two multirow formula tools will work, one to set the groups, and
one to set the order. Both are new integer fields
Eg. groupID. If Contains([F1],“username”)
then [Row-1:groupID] + 1
Else [Row-1:groupID]
endif
The for the second, let’s call it header
If Contains([F1],“username”)
then 1
Else [Row-1:Header]+1
endif
Then a tweak to the Cross Tab and Dynamic rename tools to use the new fields

Thanks @jasperlch. That was actually my original approach. Tried to be clever with the Tile tool, not thinking that this flow should be more dynamic.
THANK YOU @estherb47 and @jasperlch! That solution worked perfectly!
