Hi @Tharashasank

 

You can use a text to columns tool for this and split to rows based on ; delimiter

Hi Jordan,

 

I want to split them dynamically. In your mentioned approach we are mentioning the value of delimiters. In my scenario there will be a case where they may be more no.of delimiters.

Thanks,

Tharashasank

Hi @Tharashasank

 

You can add multiple delimiters into the delimiters box. Just add the new delimiter next to the ;

 

I just used ; as that was the only value in your example. 

 

Best,
