Subfield returns first value only

Hi all,

I have an Application field that has either one or more than one Application name. I use a replace to get ride of any spaces. The App names are separated by a comma. My code is as follows:

if(isNull(Application),'NIL', if(Application like '*,*',

        Replace(Subfield("Application",','),' ', ''), Replace(Application, ' ', '')))

The problem is with a value like "App A, App B - XXX, App C - XXX"

The desired result would be like so:

Application...
AppA...
AppB-XXX...
AppC-XXX...

However I am getting only AppA

Application...
AppA...
AppA...
AppA...

Any ideas on how I can achieve this splitting?

Update: Am able to split the Application names correctly, it is when linked with another table that only the first Application name appears in the straight table.

Thanks.

Best Regards

Serena

Hi,

can you share your mock  source data?

also u can try like this (it should work if your application value within double quote)

Fact:

load *, SubField(Application,',') as Application_Revised;

load * Inline [

Application

"AppA,AppB-XXX,AppC-XXX"

];

he has to eliminate spaces in his string before using subfield;

load subfield(trim(Application),',') as Application;

Hi,

Using mock data both fields is correct

testAppTable:

LOAD

if(Application like '*,*',

        Subfield(Replace(Application, ' ', ''), ','),

            Application) as App,

subfield(trim(Application),',') as test,

Application as testApplication,

Subfield(Application, ',') as testSF;

Load * inline [

Application

'AppA,AppB-XXX,AppC-XXX'

'C&S'

];

Am thinking when linked with my report table, somehow only the first App name is kept...
