Split Column - Delimiter Issue

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a problem with splitting a column by delimiter.

The values within the column look like this "ITEM01, ITEM02, " whih leads in this example to three columns (ITEM01, ITEM02 and an empty one). How can I make it to only get two columns (ITEM01 and ITEM02)

Thanks for your help 🙂

I followed your advice but I got the following results:

Example_01:

"ITEM01, " --> [ITEM01] []

Example_02:

"ITEM01, ITEM02, ITEM03, " --> [ITEM01] [ITEM02, ITEM03, ]

I used the following settings:

@Anonymous,

ON YOUR QUESTION, IT IS ONLY ITEM1 AND ITEM 2.

HOW YOU WANT TO SPLIT THE ITEMS IN THIS CASE?

Is there any reason as to why you can not split on each occurance and then delete the final column?

After the second try, your suggestion worked.

Thanks!

There are also cells without an item and therefore without a delimiter.

Is there a way to cut off the last two characters?
Then I could do this and then split as usual.
