Hi,

 

I have a column where each record have multiple people's name. E.g.: I have 6 people - ABC, DEF, GHI, JKL, MNO, PQR.

 

Now I want to create 6 columns with 1 or 0 values with each person's name whether the first column has his her name.

 

in the table below, I have only 1 column: Name. I want to create remaining columns with 1/0 values.

 

Nameis ABCis DEFis GHIis JKLis MNOis PQR
ABC GHI JKL101100
DEF MNO GHI011010
PQR ABC JKL100101
DEF JKL010100
DEF GHI ABC JKL111100

 

 

Really appreciate your help.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. I was working on it and found another way in which I'll only have to use 1 formula tool and create 6 formulas like: if Contains([Name], "ABC") then 1 else 0 endif

@shikhar6339 Try this instead of creating multiple formulas:
