Split a column and sort
Hello there. Hope everyone is well. Please see below... Would be great if someone hepled me with this.
Current Situation: All my data is in one column.
| A00 |
| A00.0 |
| A00.1 |
| A00.9 |
| A01 |
| A01.0 |
| A01.1 |
| A01.2 |
Desired Outcome:
| A00 | A00.0 |
| A00 | A00.1 |
| A00 | A00.9 |
| A01 | A01.0 |
| A01 | A01.1 |
| A01 | A01.2 |
Does anyone know how to archieve this split and allocation in PowerBI?

Hi Anonymous ,
You can do this in Query Editor, check the query below.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjQwUIrVAdN6CJYhnGUJZcFEDOGqDPUQYkZKsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}), #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Column1", "Column1 - Copy"), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Duplicated Column", "Column1 - Copy", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(".", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1 - Copy.1", "Column1 - Copy.2"}), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Column1 - Copy.1", type text}, {"Column1 - Copy.2", Int64.Type}}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type1", each [#"Column1 - Copy.2"] <> null and [#"Column1 - Copy.2"] <> ""), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Column1 - Copy.2"}), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Removed Columns",{"Column1 - Copy.1", "Column1"}) in #"Reordered Columns"You will need to dumplicate the column first then use split column feature then remove empty rows and at lase remove extra cloumn.
Pbix as attached.
