Here you go.  I added some numbers to one row of your data to make sure I was correctly picking up numbers from the start of a row only.  I've used that to identify the start of each group and the row to separate from the group - it won't work if there are other rows that start with numbers, you would need a different way to identify the right ones.

Hi @Sebastiaandb,

 

Thanks for your quick response.

 

Could you please provide the workflow in .yxmd extension, as I am facing problem in opening .yxzp file.

From the image I could see IsInteger(Left([Value], 1)) in formula tool, where 1 is the length (i guess), but what if the length of integer is more for e.g. :-  17. Abcdefghi

 

Thanks

Hi @Mohd-Siddiqui1 !

 

Here you go!

It doesn't matter. All the function does is check whether the first character is a number or not :-)! If so, it takes the value for the flag field. All rows after that get the same flag until it finds another row starting with a number value :-).
