Split Percentage Against Multiple Values In One Column

‎11-22-2019 07:44 AM

Good morning,

 

I have a specific requirement for a project where JobOrders typically have a single office where they reside; however, as with any company there is an exception to the rule and some JobOrders have multiple offices (2,3,4).

 

If multiple offices are involved the Office Column has the following format: Minneapolis, Dallas, Denver

 

The end goal for the above example would be to give each office 33.33% for the JobOrder. 

 

I have a feeling I might end up having to work my way back into SQL on this one, but I thought I'd seek out what your thoughts are as a community.

 

Have a great Friday!

It will make more sense to split job offices in power query and then it will be very easy to split the percentage.

@parry2k I agree, this seems to make the most sense as to how to approach this issue.
