Hi,

How do I split text multiple texts by delimiter for the column? How do I go about getting the Result table below? 

 

MyTable

Manager
Name1
Name3, Name4, Name5
Name2
Name7, Name6

 

Result

Manager
Name1
Name2
Name3
Name4
Name5
Name6
Name7

Always good to present all information 😉

 

The formula would change to:

Sort(
    ForAll(
        GroupBy(
            Ungroup(
                ForAll(MyTable, {Manager: Split(Manager, ", "), Country: Country}),
                "Manager"
            ),
            "Result", "_data"
        ),
        {Manager: Result, Country:First(_data).Country}
    ),
    Manager
)

The following formula will provide you with your results:

RenameColumns(
    Sort(
        Distinct(
            Ungroup(
                ForAll(MyTable, {Manager: Split(Manager, ", ")}),
                "Manager"
            ),
            Result
        ),
        Result
    ),
    "Result", "Manager"
)

 

I hope this is helpful for you.
