Hey all,
I have a couple sheets with a simple ask, that is difficult in practice. See the attached image for a visual example of what I need.
Basically, I have a file, about 50k rows and about 50 columns.
Each row contains sales information, including dates, products, dollars, customers, and managers.
Unfortunately, some of the customers have multiple managers, and these multiple managers are listed in the same row with an ampersand (John Doe & Jane Doe)
What I need to do is find rows which have this, which is only about 8% of the rows, and make two copies of the rows. The mapping of the names isn't the hard part, I can just use an index/count type formula to put name A in the first row and name B in the second. The main snag is copying these rows. There can be up to 7 names in a single cell, meaning that particular row of data needs to be copied 7 times.
My first instinct says "dump everything in SQL and force a Cartesian product on the name field", but i'd rather not take that approach if it can be done formulaically
