Reverse Text to Columns

Hi,

I have the table like below:

12
AFree Kane|Kate|Jessica||||
BFreeman|Kiliman|Warn Kale|Low Jis||



I have tried Text to column and could reach up to this:

12.12.22.32.42.52.6
AFree KaneKateJessica   
BFreemanKilimanWarn KaleLow Jis  

 

But my expected output is this one:

12.12.22.32.42.52.6
AJessicaKateFree Kane   
BLow JisWarn KaleKilimanFreeman  

 




I would need the output rows reversed.

Many thanks for the help.

Hi @MahmudSaniat 

 

Can you clarify what you mean by 'reverse the output'? The text to columns tool should achieve what you're looking for. How have you configured it?

Sorry, perhaps the description was not clear enough. I have updated it. Many thanks.

Not elegant and could probably be done in less tools, but, this could get you there consistently.

Almost same approach with @Jeff_Neklason , but use a Tile tool instead.

Good morning @Qiu,

 

I thought you would like to know that I have now spent the last 15 min watching @mceleavey try to solve this one. I am cheering him on, but it is not looking good.  Also, I like the Tile approach! good work.
