Need a second pair of eyes. Why is this not returning the middle value of a three value string? The first and last are working great.

ForAll(
 Split(
 txtOutput.Text,
 "###"
 ),
 Collect(
 FinalizeCollection,
 {
 Type: First(
 Split(
 Result,
 ";"
 ).Result
 ).Result,
 Name: Trim(LastN(
 Split(
 Result,
 ";"
 ).Result
 ).Result),
 ID:Last(
 Split(
 Result,
 ";"
 ).Result
 ).Result
 }
 )
);

Thanks

EDIT

I was able to figure it out by doing this, but isnt there a better way?

Name: Trim(First(LastN(
Split(
Result,
";"
).Result,2)
).Result),

@iskguy

Could you post a few examples of the strings you want to parse?

Hi @iskguy ,

Try this approach

With( { wParsed: Split( txtOutput.Text, ";" ).Result }, With( { wNumbered: ForAll( Sequence(CountRows(wParsed)), Patch( Last( FirstN( wParsed, Value ) ), {RowNo: Value} ) ) }, With( { wOdd: Filter( wNumbered, Mod( RowNo, 2 ) = 1 ) }, ClearCollect( colParsed, ShowColumns( AddColumns( wOdd, "Id", LookUp( RenameColumns( wNumbered, "RowNo", "Row" ), Row = RowNo + 1 ).Result ), "Result", "Id" ) ) ) ) )
