Hello Community ,

RowDescription
1D100001andD203456
2D100001-Action done
3VendorID254678

and getting a new table : 

RowDescription
1D100001
1D203456
2D100001
3D254678

 

Table 2  :  

ID

Is it possible to Extract all the ID from Description in table 1 and Link them to table 2 

 

Does any one have a idea or a suggestion ?

Hi @FAMH ,

 

You can split the Description column with "D" to rows and then extract numbers.

After removing and renaming the columns, you get the new Description column.

And you can create the relationship between two tables.
