Good Morning All,
I’m required to hook up to an enterprise wide system (we have 43000 employees, so I’m outnumbered) and they have some fields with varying amounts of concatenated data.
Fortunately there is a pattern.
All of the date is separated by “,” and all of it has 3 characters.
The problem is that there could be one of these groups or 20, and any number between.
I want to turn this into a daughter table with each of these sub-packets a new record.
Is there some kind of little (easy to write) loop that would extract them and append them to a new table?
Thanks in advance.
