Hi
I have a table which includes 3 columns with delimiters. I need to split the columns into rows using the delimiters but maintaining the order of the information in the columns
for example:
I would like this
| Person ID | Type | Order ID | Date of Transaction | Date of Payment |
| 001 | Blue | 100,101 | 01/01/18, 02/01/18 | 02/01/18, 03/01/18 |
| 002 | Blue | 102,103,104 | 01/01/18, 01/01/18, 02/01/18 | 02/01/18, 02/01/18, 03/01/18 |
| 003 | Red | 105,106 | 01/12/2016, 13/04/2015 | 02/12/2016, 13/04/2015 |
To look like this
| Person ID | Type | Order ID | Date of Transaction | Date of Payment |
| 001 | Blue | 100 | 01/01/2018 | 02/01/2018 |
| 001 | Blue | 101 | 02/01/2018 | 03/01/2018 |
| 002 | Blue | 102 | 01/01/2018 | 02/01/2018 |
| 002 | Blue | 103 | 01/01/2018 | 02/01/2018 |
| 002 | Blue | 104 | 02/01/2018 | 03/01/2018 |
| 003 | Red | 105 | 01/01/2018 | 02/01/2018 |
| 003 | Red | 106 | 02/01/2018 | 03/01/2018 |
I can split one column into rows using the delimiters but is it possible to split them all without losing the relationship?
Thank you

Hi scoobymoo,
Based on my test, it's difficult to insert values from one column to another column in power bi. I woud recommend you to try R script or python script to do this.
