Split Text With Multiple Positions

Hi Team, I’m trying to create a calculated field that will let me count unique entries in a particular data type, divided chronologically. The entries in the data type vary from 1 to 26.

I’ve tried to use the split function, but the position element of the calculation prevents this.

Any ideas?

Hello @hopeah

Could you provide an example of what the field or your dataset looks like? Are you using split because the data is stored as a long string?

Hi @duncan, the data is indeed stored in a long string, by way of example:

Spain,United Kingdom,Hungary,Germany

The length of the strings varies from one to 24 entries.

Hello @hopeah

After doing some tests I’m not sure that QuickSight can handle this well. If possible I would try to do this in SQL .
