How This Workflow Works
This workflow demonstrates how to take data where multiple values are stored in a single cell and systematically split those values into separate columns for clearer analysis and reporting.
Key Features:
- Break down complex, multi-value cells into individual columns for easier analysis
- Automate the process of separating customer, location, and product details
- Enable richer reporting by transforming cell data into more granular items
Step-by-step:
1. Split Cell Values by a Custom Delimiter:
The workflow applies logic to divide the contents of key cells—such as those containing customer IDs, locations, or product lists—into separate columns using a custom delimiter (e.g., a coma, an underscore, a blank space). This makes each piece of information accessible on its own, rather than bundled together.
2. Organize and Refine the Output:
After identifying a delimiter for the split, it’s also possible to determine how the output should be organized. Whether into new, separate columns or as a list. This step ensures the final dataset is tidy and formatted in the required shape for further analysis or reporting.
