Prompted by Get Your Data Geek Badges Today! by anita.yuen I noticed this:
"Mission 2: Share your Data Geek Knowledge - NEW"
I thought why not share a feature I've used with various types of data. See a simple Excel example below:
I would like to separate the Name field into First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name...perhaps to load this into SAP?
First, I Googled the steps and they work in Excel, but I needed step-by-step directions:
These work but will I remember them when I need them next month?
Using SAP BusinessObjects Lumira I didn't have to search anything. I simply opened the Data Manipulation tool after acquiring the data.
I select the Name column and select Split as shown above.
After I split the columns I simply rename the columns by double clicking on the column.
So now I have my desired First Name, Middle initial, and Last Name fields separated into columns. This was easy to use, not something I needed to look up and I'll remember it next time I need to do it. I also find with large numbers of fields and columns Lumira is helpful to use against Excel.
