I have an excel file with 60 columns that has data in the second row, that I want to break up into additional rows if there is a "," (multiple columns have ","). I used the text to columns function, on Column 2, but it caused column 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to repeat the same row information over and over and it seems I would have to use the Text to Column function for each column that has a "'," in it. Is there an easy way in alteryx to go from the below input to the desired output?
Input
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 | Column 7 | Column 8 |
523 | 745,745,76876 | 745 | 9768,546 | 6734 | 769 | 1231 | 6436,5346 |
Desired Output:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 | Column 7 | Column 8 |
523 | 745 | 745 | 9768 | 6734 | 769 | 1231 | 6436 |
745 | 546 | 5346 | |||||
76876 |

You may want to Transpose the data, perform the parse with Text to Columns, then Cross Tab back into your original field schema:
Thanks, the above worked, never thought to used the tile function.
