SplitColumn
Breaks one text column into several, splitting at a delimiter, the node version
of Text to Columns. The original column is replaced by numbered text columns
(Account_1, Account_2, ...), sized to the row with the most parts; rows with
fewer parts leave the trailing columns blank. All other columns stay where they
are.

Example
Your GL_Detail table has an Account column coded 4000-EMEA-OPEX. Set
Column to Account and Delimiter to -, and the result has Account_1
(natural account), Account_2 (region), and Account_3 (cost type), each now
usable as its own grouping column. The split table appears as its own tab.
Tips
- Follow with RenameColumns to turn
Account_1,Account_2,Account_3intoAccount,Region,Cost_Type. - The new columns are text, even when a part looks numeric.
