Hi @187 ,

 

Here is one way of doing this.

 

Workflow

Multi-Row formula expression

Output =

IF RegEx_Match([Data], "\d+")
THEN [Row-1:Output]
ELSE [Data]
ENDIF

 

Formula tool expression

Output =

IF REGEX_Match([Data], "\d+")
THEN [Output] + [Data]
ELSE [Output]
ENDIF

 

Output

Hi @Yoshiro_Fujimori  

Thanks for the reply, yes this is working for the case, just wondering if the 1 2 3 is not number , and it is string as well, what is the advice?

Hi @187 ,

It depends on the condition to distinguish the Level-2 string (1, 2, 3...) from the Level-1 string (A, B, C...).

 

Currently, the strings are distinguished whether it is all numbers or not (in Multi-Row formula and Formula) as below:

REGEX_Match([Data], "\d+")

If there is a different rule, you can modify the regular expression accordingly.
