SPLIT DATA USING A SPECIFIC COLUMN AND ADD COLUMN NAMES

Shahas
8 - Asteroid

Hi All,

 

I have a situation where in I have to group data by country and after each country is over, a separate header has to be given when a new country name begins.

 

for eg : 

 

IDNAMECOUNTRY
12ABAUS
35CDIND
64LEAUS
78OIIND
95FGSUI
21LFSUI
65POUK
17LQUK

 

This data has to look like : 

 

IDNAMECOUNTRY
12ABAUS
64LEAUS
IDNAMECOUNTRY
35CDIND
78OIIND
IDNAMECOUNTRY
95FGSUI
21LFSUI
IDNAMECOUNTRY
65POUK
17LQUK

 

Hope its clear.

 

Thanks in advance

ELSE [Source_Field1]
ENDIF

@ShankerV thanks for the effort put in to post everything. 

 

A small doubt.. At step 7, formula's are being applied to source field. In the example I provided there are only 3 source fields. But in my actual data, there a lot more. So do I have to apply formula to every columns?

 

Thanks & Regards

@binuacs  Thank u for the response.

 

But when  run the flow, I'm getting a lot of duplicates.

 

In my data, there are 39 countries in total. In the macro section, we are giving 1 country name right in filter ? and what will we do for the false part?

 

Thanks & Regards

Hi @Shahas 

 

Yes, as per the sample provided I have applied the formula to all 3 fields.

 

If in the original input, if you have more columns, then the formula should be applied to all the columns.

 

Many thanks
