Split text columm with date and # delimiter

Please,

I have a string columm (obs) with date and text.

I need to split the text and date in the Obs column (see BEFORE) into a separate row for each Funci (see AFTER),

using the # as a delimiter for the Job columm

 

I need to eliminate the text in RED before the date

 

 

BEFORE

Hi,

 

The best I reached is the folowing code:

 

 

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Funci", type text}, {"obs", type text}}),
#"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(#"Changed Type",{"Funci"}),
#"Lowercased Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Filled Down",{{"obs", Text.Lower, type text}}),
Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Lowercased Text", "Date", each Text.Remove([obs],{"a".."z", "#"})

)
in
Custom1

 

To make it work you have to add after the "#" all the alphabetical and special characters that are not covered in my code.

 

 Hope have helped you a little bit:

Hi Abdoul.

 

Thanks for the answers, but my table is not like that.

 

The column "Funci" has a value (like F123456) and the column "obs" has several lines in the same cell.

 

Here is a photo of my table:

In the first line for example, the output must be something like:

 

Funci               Date              Job

F1713097        03/11/22      #assessoria

F1713097        27/10/22      #envio HISCRE #assessoria

 

and it goes in all lines.

 

Thanks for the effort to trying to resolve my problem 🙂

 

@ViviHad To make sure the data formats are retained correctly, you should upload the Excel file on Google Drive and share a link otherwise people here will end up with solutions and you will not accept because of minute changes.
