Splitting Column

Hi there,

 

I have an Excel input that contains a member name and email all in one field. I am first trying to create a new column when the workflow hits the "<" character. 

 

Last Name, First Name  <Email

 

Then I am trying to re-write the name text as simply First Name Last Name.

I would love to create a workflow that has two distinct columns seen below.

 

Member Name                          Member Email

First Name Last Name              Email 

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Natalia

Hi @nwatzlaf 

 

Have you checked out the text to columns tool? You should be able to put < as the delimiter and have it split into 2 columns.

Hi @Luke_C 

 

After continued fumblings with text to columns I got that to work. Thanks!! That was my primary goal of the workflow. Adjusting the name would have been a bonus.

 

Thank you for your time,

Natalia
