Parsing Data

I need to parse the following data attached - I am not sure the best way to do it. We need to split out the 4 digit Cd field. Thank you!

Hi @swhitmeyer ,

 

Use a formula field and create the formula LEFT([Current Data],4)

 

that should do the trick.

Were you able to see the attachment? The data is in all different formats so it is not that simple. For example, EE74/85 needs to be split out into different columns as EE74 and EE85.

Yeah, I see it now.

 

I've built the workflow. It's messy, but does the trick.

Thanks this looks better and you did that so fast! Row 7 and 9 does not produce desired data, any thoughts?

Ha, it's not my first time ;)

 

Yeah, I noticed that. It may need a bit of tweaking on the regex, but it's almost there.

I'll have a look when I can.
