De-concatenating a multi select field on yellwofin report level

Hi,

I am working on a report with multi select field which concatenates various values and separates them with a semi-colon.

Is there a way in the report builder to de-concatenate them and add them in separate rows???

Hi Sonu,

The only way you could achieve this would by either an SQL Calculated field basis or via Yellowfin's Transformation steps, which would most likely be the best way forward. You can find more information on the transformation process here. You might want to look into the split, find/replace or substring function in the guide.

The calculated field might also be possible, but depending on the DB, will vary the query you would need to use and the only options I could think of which may work would be functions like split or substring, but either way, it will require a lot of trial and error with such a long string.
