[Need advice] Need to transform single entries with multiple csv values in a column to unique multiple entries in Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 42

Dears,

this community already helped me building the first part of my small project, I am now facing another challenge:

 

Excel input:

Document NameDocument IDProductDocument Owner
abc1Bike, SkateJohn Doe
def2MonowheelJohn Doe

 

Desired Sharepoint Output:

Document NameDocument IDProductDocument Owner
abc1BikeJohn Doe
abc1SkateJohn Doe
def2MonowheelJohn Doe
    

 

So far, I can already:

 

1) Take either a table OR non-table formatted Excel as Input

2) If NON table formatted, create a Table via Excel Script

3) If Document number doesn't exist in Sharepoint already, create New, otherwise upload existing item

 

I " just " miss the part & logic of those cases in which my "Product" is not a single product but has multiple, comma-separated, products -> I need single sharepoint entries to work with.

 

Any help is, as always, very much appreciated!

    Well - Just after posting the above, a lamp lighten up above my head and made little progress

     

    UPDATE//: Just found this doesn't really solve my challenge 100%

     

    What I did:

     

    1) Get items with substringof OData query on Products column searching for "," to actually get only those multi-products entries

    2) Apply to each on previous values and split Product value

    3) Create the item again for all values of the above

     

    - Need to check with real data how things are going, I am almost sure I have an issue on combining manual updates & this automatic flow
