Hi,

 

Is there a method to split below strings to 3 columns ?

 

50 38

28-32

401/28-32

401 28-32

 

Thanks,

Hi @hkanp , the simplest way would  be to replace characters such as / and - with a space and then use text to column using space as delimiter and it will work. Please follow the screenshoat and workflow for understanding.

I hope it helps!

Thanks.

You can also use multiple delimiters in a single Text to columns tool, so putting \s-/ in the delimiter field would split the split the field by all 3 (\s represents a space)

You can do this directly in the Text to Columns tool and list all 3 valid delimiters in the input like:

Hi @ 

 

This is perfect, only one thing,

 

if there are any addresses like "RecordID= 1" (ex: 1 Pacific hwy")

I want to move number to "Street No 1" column instead "Unit No" column.

All the other addresses are split correctly.
