Use Split text and insert that lint into datatable:

Code:
Variables.CreateNewDatatable InputTable: { ^['Column1', 'Column2'], [$'''''', $''''''] } DataTable=> DataTable3 SET NewVar3 TO $'''LYNN, ALANNA''' Text.SplitText.SplitWithDelimiter Text: NewVar3 CustomDelimiter: $''',''' IsRegEx: False Result=> TextList Variables.AddRowToDataTable.AppendRowToDataTable DataTable: DataTable3 RowToAdd: [TextList[0], TextList[1]]

Then just use Insert row into data table. It depends on your datatable how the insert works. How many columns you have? Can the other columns just be empty or do you want some value into them?

Simple one:
This method won't come up with empty row at first row

The below two methods come up with first row as empty row so you have to delete the index 0 using delete row from datatable action.

Method 2:
Code:

SET Member TO $'''LYNN, ALANNA''' SET Datatable TO {[''] } SET DataTable TO DataTable + [Member] Variables.DeleteRowFromDataTable DataTable: DataTable RowIndex: 0

Method3:
Code:

SET Member TO $'''LYNN, ALANNA''' Variables.CreateNewDatatable InputTable: { ^['Column1'], [$''''''] } DataTable=> DataTable SET DataTable TO DataTable + [Member] Variables.DeleteRowFromDataTable DataTable: DataTable RowIndex: 0
