remember to reverse string if you use transpose.

add check to pick whether want to use reversestring()

I did this in 2 ways - one with an iterative macro that includes formulae; and one with an iterative macro that includes dynamic replace (thank you Digan).    I like the Dynamic Replace one a lot because it's one of the only easy-ish ways to do dynamic code execution in Alteryx (other than Chris's Dynamic creation of workflow XML)

Absolutely needs to be refactored - especially in the light of other people doing this without macros.

Also absolutely not gonna win any tool golf here...

The parser macro:

The Dynamic Replace Macro:

the formula version of the macro

10 tools, most of it parsing the data. I managed to do the stack moving with some hefty multi-row string calcs.

That's clever. I started down a similar to start, but couldn't make it work. Well done.
