Hi @Khaled_Eid 

 

One way to do is with the Sample tool.

Input contains 8 records.

Note: Using the output tool, you can save the output to new destination.

 

Many thanks

Hi @Khaled_Eid 

 

When the input contains 14 records in input, below is the output.

I would create a row id per row and then use the mod function to split the file into 2 halfs and then output the data to two destinations (you can add the prefix/suffix to the output table)

Hi @Khaled_Eid 

 

If in need, the second half should be in same order as input. Then add these 2 tools in additional.

 

Additional steps if in need,
