Tool - Text To Columns: Multi-Delimiters

Hello Professionals,

 

Tool Text To Columns, for multi-delimiters, do we always have to enter :- into the delimiters field in the configuration window? In the file downloaded from Tool Mastery, Field1 doesn't contain delimiter  :-  and why is Field12 empty in the result window?

 

Thank you,

Field12 is empty because:

ID::Name-Type-Amount

 

You see, between ID and Name, there are two ":". This explains why your Field12 is blank.
