Sort and Segregate text message
Hi All, Can some help me to split a column into two columns N|1|04-29-2013 ; N|2|06-11-2015 ; N|3|07-27-2017 ; N|5|04-05-2020 ; Y|1|04-29-2013 ; Y|2|04-29-2014 ; Y|3|04-29-2015 ; Y|4|02-23-2019...

Pushpakumar,
If you create two formula - text type fields, you can enter these formulas into each:
Trim(Left([TextFieldName],"Y"))
Trim(NotLeft([TextFieldName],"Y"))
Those will split your current text field into the two sets of information that you want.

- Hi Eric ,
Thanks a lot for the reply. But i have another condition
ALL|1|04-29-2013;ALL|4|04-29-2017; N|1|04-29-2013 ; N|2|06-11-2015 ; N|3|07-27-2017 ; N|5|04-05-2020 ; Y|1|04-29-2013 ; Y|2|04-29-2014 ; Y|3|04-29-2015 ; Y|4|02-23-2019;
Now, i want to throw this into three column , N_text , Y_text and ALL_text. the order can be jumbled and sometimes any of the parameter can be null i.e i can have either N or Y or ALL or Y or Just Y
Can you help me on this

With that updated information, here's an example formula to gather all of the "ALL" options from your list in any order that they occur in:
List(";",
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],1,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],1,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],2,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],2,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],3,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],3,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],4,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],4,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],5,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],5,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],6,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],6,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],7,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],7,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],8,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],8,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],9,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],9,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],10,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],10,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],11,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],11,";")),
If(Left(Part([TextFieldName],12,";"),1)="A",Part([TextFieldName],12,";"))
)
That same pattern could be extended for the full amount of entries you anticipate could be in your data set. For the other two formula fields, change the A to either Y or N depending on which option you want to collect
