Split Row in 2 Rows

Hello,

 

I have a table that goes like this.

 

IDFieldValue
123Temperature3,0-23,0
456Temperature1,0-20,0
789Temperature2,0-21,0
012Temperature

1,5-25,5

 

But I want to separate the values using the hyphen and create something like this:

 

IDFieldValue
123Temperature_Min3,0
123Temperature_Max23,0
456Temperature_Min1,0
456Temperature_Max

20,0

 

I have seen the Text to Column function, I can separate them into rows but I can't change the name of the Fields.

Any suggestion?

Hi @cutehappybear 

 

Edit: updated workflow

 

Here is how you can do it. Use text to column tool like highlighted below and multi-row formula tool.

Here's a similar approach that also renames the fields:

Hi @cutehappybear ,

 

I'd like to add another approach - using Text To Columns to split the value field and the Arrange tool to organize the result in rows could also be a solution.

 

In the Arrange tool, you can select a key field (ID) and add columns (only one with values)/ descriptor columns.

You add a column and assign both fields (value1 and value2, the result of the Text To Columns split) to that column as "rows".

You can fill the "Descriptor Column" manually for the resulting rows.

Hope this is helpful.

 

Best,
