hi,
I am trying to split column into rows using delimiters in an excel file ,

1. every time I try to split new column the previous column get auto sorted . Please see LOOM attached  . I have attached my bulk transformation and excel file
2. is there a way to put a loop to do this for all columns or it has to be done 1 by 1 

Cheers,

Not sure what you are trying to achieve here...

I think joining the columns first and than splitting them is a better option. (No need for loop)

Please note that there a small issue with data block transformation right now so you may need to to reopen it to see the changes.

Hellos,

Your suggestion is right , if I join the columns first and then split it would be much easier, but I can't figure how to divide them the long 1 singular column into multiple column output

Background

I am currently experimenting with ETL capability of data manipulation (on my already existing projects which we run with python and EDT).I am trying to re-create a picture format like structure in Google Sheet/Excel . It leverages Image formula , For reference this is the end results
 

The starting point is data as below. Data is attached below

Output should be format data in a grid of modular X columns x Y rows , in this example let's say we are looking at 3 columns X unlimited rows . 
The end output expected from ETL is planned as below,

The main challenge here is to convert a single column into 3 columns .

The can be done using pivot block transformation

Please see attached example.

HI,
I am studying the solution you've provided . Thank You. I need to wrap my head around what pivot means here. 

But I can still confirm as per my original post (with the newest 6.4.2.3)  - every time I try to split new column the previous column get auto sorted .  Please see LOOM attached   . This behaviour exists in SAVED EXCEL ALSO produced with WRITE EXCEL

"Every time I try to split new column the previous column get auto sorted" 

I have some time some time trying to understand what is wrong,

The data is not sorted it is repeated and this is how it should be (EG: There is nothing wrong with it).

You have 3 fields F1,F2,F3
You split field F2
All values for F1 and F3 are repeated
