Hi @BautistaC888 

 

You can configure the text to column tool to split on newline into rows. Refer the highlighted options.

Hi @BautistaC888 

If you connect your data to a text to columns tool, and split to rows on delimiter '\n' then you should be able to work with it

Hi Bautista,

 

I built this workflow:

I noted you have two sets of numbers, with 8 digits and 9 digits. not knowing how important they are I assumed they mean something and for some reason are not in the same sequence.
