Hello all,

 

Is there a way to split columns with a specific word found in data?

Looks like a job for the "Parse" output method in the RegEx tool:

I used the Regular Expression: (.*)(CEP)(.*)

Hi @Tanai_Goncalves 

 

Let me offer you two non-regex approaches.

1) Use a formula + Split to columns. Replace CEP by "~" then do split to columns using "~"

2) Use LEFT and RIGHT functions.
