I have removed the locks
I have also emailed Sher thanking her for bringing this to our attention

Thanks so much, I am sorry I was not clare, my example is all in one filed, but not three fields in three row.
Here is a screenshot of my data, one field has two notes, another two has nothing, and another one only has one field. I need to split the notes
Could you, based on the sample data you have provided, show in an excel sheet how you would like your data to look like at the end?
Here is my data in powerbi, i would to see either split the multiple worknotes in the same field into multiple column, or split it into multi row. However if it is multi row, the assigned to has to repeat, Also, one could have no worknotes, one could have one worknote, and could have 2,3,4,5 or more
