splitting output records in half

kas

Hello,

 

I've seen several different scenarios about splitting records, but none that I can adapt for my scenario.

I just need to simply split my final output into to two equal, or close if odd number of rows, files. Once split they get assigned to two different associates, therefore the need to split. The count of rows will change each month so I can't use a set number to split them.

One month there may be 274 rows, the next 315 etc. One further catch is they can't be random but must remain in the consecutive order they are in before the split.

 

Mock sample below if that helps.

@kas  Tile Tool would be helpful for this scenario and the Time Number will give you the two part

Hi @kas 

 

I agree with @binuacs. Use the tile tool to get however many groups you need, then you can use those groups to come up with unique file names to generate separate outputs. Depending on your format (csv, xlsx, etc) the configurations would vary:
