Hi. I have a piece of data (email addresses). Let's say they are 7 in total and I want to split them to 3 smaller chunks.

 

ID

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

 

Desired Outcome is

 

A

B

 

C
D

 

E

F

G


In another scenario if they are 6 in total and I want to split them into two chunks, then

 

A

B

C

 

D

E
F

 

I could neither think of a solution myself nor managed to find a topic discussion in Community. Is this possible with Designer? TIA!

Hi @Mert you can use the tile tool to do this. 

Choose 'Equal Records' and the number of groups you want:

 

3 groups3 groups2 groups2 groups

 

The Tile_Num will be the grouping field.

 

Hope that helps,
