Good morning,
I solicit your help for a problem that I encounter since several weeks in the cleaning of my data.
In my comment column: several comments that are divided into several lines. Each line corresponds to a comment of a validator.
my problem is that there is no standard in the way people put their comments.
for example sometimes the validation date is at the beginning of the sentence, sometimes in the middle and sometimes at the end.
but what is sure is that the format corresponds each time in the form "yyyy-mm-dd"
so it's very difficult to create a report that looks like this
here is what my comment colum look like :
