Hi, @Anonymous 

 

You can create two columns like this:

Key = SWITCH(true(),RIGHT([Column],1)="1",1,RIGHT([Column],2)="25",25,RIGHT([Column],2)="12",12)
Main = SWITCH(true(),[Key]=1,([Column]-1)/10,[Key]=25,([Column]-25)/100,[Key]=12,([Column]-12)/100)

Hello there @Anonymous ! What is your criteria for splitting? Is there any kind of pattern?

Hi @goncalogeraldes , yes based on the key values which are added at last . In the above example for value 567891 , 1 is key similarly for value 7896525 , 25 is the key . As of now we can consider 1, 25 and 12 as key values  for entire data set
