Hi @sachinsg ,

 

Would you be able to send the data as file ?

Hi @sachinsg 

 

Sometimes with the data extracted from PDFs you can be lucky, and be able can use RegEx to replace 2 or more spaces with a | , then use Text to Columns to split by the |

 

See sample workflow, hopefully that helps.
