Splitting of Name & Address from same oclumn

[kafka_u21]

Is there anyway else to format the address in Alteryx.

I have an address column which includes Name & Address all combined into ingle column as example below. I needed it to be split into multiple columns, one column each for Name, Address, City, State, Zip. #Designer #new2Alteryx #helpneeded

Address

Leather & CO (SP100), Draxwell, 1134 PArk Ave Apt 133, New York NY 10218,,,

May & CO, 3050 Peach Road, Atlanta GA 30301,,,,

John Smith, c/o Jack SImth, 3050 Link Road, Boston MA 30301,,,

Desired Output

Name	Address	City	State	Zipcode
Leather & CO (SP100), Draxwell	134 PArk Ave Apt 133	New York	NY	10218
May & CO	3050 Peach Road	Atlanta	GA	30301

Sometimes it’s better to do these things backwards. Try reversing the string to parse by comma back through the street number. Then reverse back to make it readable. I’m on mobile right now, but essentially a formula tool to reverse the string, text to columns or regex to parse by commas. Then formula tool to reverse string back. After that, you can parse the city state in a way that makes sense (maybe even reversed since some cities have two words but no states do);)

Hi, @kafka_u21 

FYI.

^(.+?)(?=\,\s\d)\,\s([^\,]+)\,\s?([[:alpha:]\s]+)\s([[:alpha:]]{2,})\s(\d{5})\,*$

Hi  flying008,

possible to upload the workflow, i tried using the same regex but all the columns come as blank for me.

@flying008 , found myself in a spot of bother here. the previous formula worked great for the initial set of records but not most. below is the scenario the regex formula is failing, possible to help out?. I needed to split them into separate columns for Address, City, State, Zipcode
