    Hello all,

    I have a single string "XYZ00001|Test_b|XYZ00002|Test_a|XYZ00003|Test_c" that will continue to grow over time.

    Is there a way I can extract the values from the string into two separate columns?

    XYZ0001 Test_b

    XYZ0002 Test_a

    XYZ0003 Test_c

    Any advice or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sure start by looking at the link in my signature about splitting strings.
