    To separate multiple data responses into different cells, you have a couple of options: 1. Use the "Turn items into rows" feature: • Access the Cell details • Hover to the right of the list • Select the option to "Turn items into rows" which will move each item into its own row in another table 2. For comma-separated data, you can: • Use "Extract Data From Values" to process the data • Add a new column using the Forward Slash (/) command • Apply a custom extraction Regex: [^,"]+"?[^,"]+ • This will split the values into separate entries Choose the method that best fits your data format and desired output structure.

    I have this: Response: 1. Save the Children Mexico; https://savethechildren.mx/ [1] 2. Opinión 51; https://en.opinion51.com/ [2] 3. Sabadell Mexico; https://www.bancosabadell.mx/ [3] 4. FER; Not confirmed, requires further verification [4] 5. Laika; Not confirmed, requires further verification [4] 6. LALA; No URL identified [5] 7. Jumex; No URL identified [5] 8. Nacional Monte de Piedad; No URL identified [5] All this numbers are in the same cell and the same item, how can I separate each one in diferent columns automatically? This is the formula, should I try a custom formula?

    To separate your numbered responses into different columns, you can follow these steps: 1. Add a new column using the Forward Slash (/) command 2. Use "Extract Data From Values" to process the data and apply a custom extraction Regex: [^,"]+"?[^,"]+ This will split your numbered values into separate entries that you can then work with individually. Once the values are split into a list, you can send them to different columns or tables as needed. If you need more specific formatting or extraction, you can use the AI Formula Generator to create a custom formula that matches your exact needs - just describe what you want to extract in the formula box.

    I would love to add the "response items" in different columns each one of them or in a new table "in rows" each one of them.

    I see what you're trying to do here Alex, I believe our write to other table integration is what you're looking for here. 1. Find and set up the write to table enrichment column by clicking on Add Column > Add Enrichment > Search and select "write to table"

    2. You can now choose to parse your arrays into an existing table or create a new blank table for them, by clicking on "new table":

    3. We can now neatly write our array of objects into individual rows by inserting a column in the 'Select a List from a Column' field. Type a forward slash, choose the column containing the arrays, open its properties, and click "insert all items".

    4. Now the last thing we'll have to do is specify which objects from the array we want to write to the new table, and to which columns we want to map them. We'll be able to select columns which are existing or create new ad-hoc columns for this purpose:

    5. You can also add other column values to the table, which is useful when transferring lead data from one table to another using the 'Write to Table' column. This setup can work independently, without the list feature configured in step 4.

    You're all set! You can now save and run your 'Write to Table' column.
