Hi Maveryx,

 

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here. 

 

This challenge was submitted by Jifeng Qiu (@Qiu)  and Motoi Tokimatsu (@Tokimatsu) , very engaged members of our Community.

Qiu and Tokimatsu, we appreciate your contributions to the Community!

 

In the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) department of a chemical plant, equipment tags play a crucial role in managing equipment, including labeling pumps as distinct entities, such as P-101A and P-101B. The upstream Design department still prefers the old-fashioned way of creating tags and they usually concatenate tags into forms like P-101A/B or P-101A-B. This approach creates a headache for the downstream department's data processing.

Your task this week is to parse these concatenated equipment tags, making life smoother for everyone involved. Ensure the new tags start from the first letter and end with the last letter sequentially.

 

Create an Alteryx workflow to sequentially generate new equipment tags based on the provided dataset. For instance, if you have P-101A/E, the output should be P-101A, P-101B, P-101C, P-101D, and P-101E.

 

Embark on this adventure and untangle those equipment tags with precision and efficiency!

 

Good luck!
