Text to column help

I can't seem to get the results I'd expect. I just want to separate the data in the DownloadData column. For example in row 2, I am trying to get separate columns for "CUSR0000SA0", "1997", "M01", and "159.4" with the corresponding header for each. Can someone assist?

Hi @crtakacs ,

 

Have you tried 'Tab' as your delimiter, hard to say for sure but it appears that your data is tab delimited.

 

tab delimited is:-

\t

 

here is some more info on it - https://help.alteryx.com/current/designer/text-columns-tool

You can use a combination of RegEx, TextToColumns and Dynamic Rename to do what you described.

 

Please find attached a sample workflow showcasing the same.

 

Do let me know if this works for you.

 

Best,

Jagdeesh Narayanan
