I am new to Alteryx, and I want to split my data into new columns Country, EmpID, PlantID, and PayPeriod (W or Mo). An example of a data point I have is SWE468-4Mo, and I want to split it up like this:

 

Country- SWE

EmpID- 468

PlantID- 4

PayPeriod- Mo

 

How would one go about this?

Hi @mark_9876 ,

 

Here you go!

 

Split the column first, then use the Cross Tab tool to create a column & row. Solution attached.

how structured is this field?  Is it consistent in field lengths?
