*Question is unique from Google sheets split multi-line cell into new rows (+ duplicate surrounding row entries) in that the parse is required in three separate columns rather than just one.

I have a google sheet that accepts order data from my online store. If the order contains one single product sale, the output looks like:

    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item | Quantity | Price

If the order contains 2 product sales, the output looks like:

    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item, Item | Quantity, Quantity | Price, Price

If the order contains 3 product sales, the output looks like:

    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item, Item, Item | Quantity, Quantity, Quantity | Price, Price, Price

And so on...

Is it possible to separate the comma deliminated contents of the cells, transpose and maintain the adjacent data like so:

    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item | Quantity | Price
    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item | Quantity | Price
    Date | Order Number | Order Name | Item | Quantity | Price

For example...

    9/15/16 | 1004 | Jim Johnson | Beer, Wine | 2, 5 | 20, 100

Would give...

    9/15/16 | 1004 | Jim Johnson | Beer | 2 | 20
    9/15/16 | 1004 | Jim Johnson | Wine | 5 | 100

  • Hey @Rubén thank you for linking to that post. It definitely gets me closer to where I need to be but I'm failing to get that results I need. My question is unique to that post in that the parsing is required in three separate columns.

  • Consider to try to apply the suggested solutions three times, one for each separated columns. Commented Sep 16, 2016 at 19:03
  • I extended the description of the formula on this answer. I think that this could be helpful to find the solution for this question. Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 17:48
