Trouble getting rid of unwanted row

VanG

This is what my input originally looked like. 

 

Charge 
Gasoline $21.12 Oil 18.98 
Charge 
Oil 18.98 Coolant $11.63 

 

This is what I got it to look like now

 

Charge 
Gasoline $21.12 
Oil 18.98 
Gasoline $21.12 Oil 18.98 
Charge 
Oil 18.98 
Coolant $11.63 
Oil 18.98 Coolant $11.63 

 

I was able to separate the charges, i.e gasoline and oil, to be on separate rows but the original is still there. I used ReGex tool to tokenize and in the expression I just had [Alpha]+\s.\d+.\d{2} to grab the word and charge amount. This got rid of everything else though so than I used a Union tool to join the original and new table. Now I need to get rid of the old row that has both charges in one cell. (i.e Gasoline $21.12 Oil 18.98)

 

This is what I would like the final output to look like. 

 

LabourLabour Charge
Gasoline21.12
Oil18.98
Oil18.98
Coolant11.63

 

I know how to split the labour from its charge by using money sign/space as delimiter. My problem right now is how to get rid of the old cell containing both labour charges. I tried using a multirow formula and using if row-1 contains what is in current row than null current row, but i am getting mal-informed if statement error.  Thank you any help would be much appreciated 

 

Best,

Hi @VanG I mocked up a workflow that produces the output you describe. Let me know what you think?
