Hi,
I have a table that has team name and team member in the same column:
Input:
| Team1 |
| Lily Zane |
| Danielle Garner |
| Martin Timberlake |
| Team2 |
| Rachel Marie |
| Suzie Qu |
| Team3 |
| Jason Chan |
| Sarah Alba |
I was wondering if the column can be split into 2 columns, one is the team name, the other one is team member:
Output:
| Team | Member Name |
| Team1 | Lily Zane |
| Team1 | Danielle Garner |
| Team1 | Martin Timberlake |
| Team2 | Rachel Marie |
| Team2 | Suzie Qu |
| Team3 | Jason Chan |
| Team3 | Sarah Alba |
This is a tricky one because it cannot be seperated by delimiter etcs, any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
