Challenge #54: Data Prep Address Parsing

This one was a tough one for me - RegEx is not something I'm very proficient at (yet!).

I parsed using the named groups with words Circle, Street, Road, etc.  For some reason had huge problems with Ave, Avenue, and Road...but eventually through trial and error got those words to work.

Solution attached.  Couldn't seem to get the RegEx formula right to handle the street information, so I used a text input tool to replace the street (road, ave, etc) with a "|".  Then used RegEx match in the filter tool to handle the records with zip codes differently from the ones without.

Here is my solution. City parsing works for this records, but I think it might be unreliable for other possible address combinations.

I ended up using the Invisio Geocoder (which runs through Google) then the reverse geocoder (Alteryx macro) and then the parse address tool.

RegEx: (^\d+) (\w+ \w+|\w+ \w+ \w+) (\w+|\w+ \w+) (\w{2})( \d{5}$|$)

took a lot of testing, but managed to get all information parsed out correctly using just one RegEx tool
