Create a Collection from multiple Split() functions with column Id/row number

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by rzainm 107
I have two columns in an SP list that I need to use the Split() function with a comma separator to get the individual items.
 
Ex.
Column1 Column2
test1,test2,test3 atest1,atest2,atest3
 
ForAll(Split(currItem.Column1, ","), Value)
ForAll(Split(currItem.Column2, ","), Value)
 
I could create individual collections for each column (2 collections for the columns and 1 collection for the row using Sequence()), but is there a way to combine these three collections or just do it in one clearcollect function?
 
Expected output of my collection should be like this:
 
Collection
row name1 name2
1 test1 atest1
2 test2 atest2
3 test3 atest3
 
Any help is appreciated.

    Hey rzainm,
     
    I've found a way to do what you need. 
    Try this: 
    Clear(colEnd);
    With(
        {
            Column1Data: Split(
                First(colStart).Column1,
                ","
            ),
            Column2Data: Split(
                First(colStart).Column2,
                ","
            )
        },
        With(
            {RowCount: CountRows(Column1Data)},
            ForAll(
                Sequence(RowCount) As Number,
                Collect(
                    colEnd,
                    {
                        row: Number.Value,
                        name1: Index(
                            Column1Data,
                            Number.Value
                        ).Value,
                        name2: Index(
                            Column2Data,
                            Number.Value
                        ).Value
                    }
                )
            )
        )
    )
    colStart is your first Table and colEnd is the Result:
     
     

     
    If this Solved your question consider accepting it as a solution so others can find it as well. 
    If it helped in any other way consider giving it a Like so we can keep supporting each other.
