Text Parsing and data table

saivig68
7 - Meteor

Hi All, 

 

I have a string that is parsed and extracted using text to columns, I used 20 for the number of columns.

Patterns/Characteristics:

  • Column F2 will always contain " feature" 
  •  There are 8 distinct categories and the text will contain the category name and then the values , the category comes first and then the next column will have the value. Example column F5-> Gender F6-> Ladies ( Value) 
  • The categories and values can be in any order in the text string

 

Eg:

The result I am trying to get to is for each row the categories should become the column name and the values should be the rows. 

 

End State:

I am new to Alteryx , can some one point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks
