How can I split 1 cell field into 2 new columns in Alteryx. How can I re-create Column C & D, with column B (I already have) the below?

hello @hbland2 

 

You can accomplish this in many ways

 

1. with Left([Assigment], 10) for PO and right([Assigment], 1)

 

2. Using Substring giving the lenght of the two parts

 

3. Using regex, although this is complicated for this use case .

 

I think you can accomplish with the option 1 or 2

Hi @randreag — Try this solution too... using RegEx tool using Parse output method:

 

 

(\d{10})+[0]+(\d+)

 

Here, 1st Group ( ) picks up the 1st 10 digits, then last Group ( ) picks up the remaining digits which are in the end.

FYI — I have done the same thing using Formula tool for your reference.
