Parse Text from Field

‎10-24-2023 03:24 PM

 Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to split the column below into the following 6 columns using Power Query.:

  • po_number
  • po_school_name
  • po_phone_number
  • __Saved_Cart
  • dao_name
  • dao_email

As you can see, each cell may only include a few of each of the attributes. I don't even know how to start.

 

I wanted to add that if there is a po, all three po fields will exist and they will always be in the order of number, school name, and then phone number. In fields with dao, it will always list the dao name first and then dao email. If the field contains both dao and po information, the dao information comes first.

 

I threw in junk values to protect sensitive information.

 

Also, it appears that there is a carriage return between each item.
