I need to break apart a long text string into their own rows by lets say 10. I don’t always know the length, but the max should be 10 for each Note row.
Example:
Account | Note
123456 | abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Output Needed:
Account | Note
123456 | abcdefghij
123456 | klmnopqrst
123456 | uvwxyz
If you know that the Note field is guaranteed to be shorter than Nx10 characters, you can use the “Split fixed width text” action to split Note into N columns and then unpivot them.
Here is an example:

The note field unfortunately can go to 255. I think I found a solution though. Thanks anyway.

Challenge accepted! No iterations, just 4 actions, any Note length.

Nicely done. Exactly what I was doing, just without an iteration.
Yes, your use of “Repeat rows” gave me the idea.
Here is another one with regex)

Neat! In case someone is curious, the regex is quite simple:
.{1,10}

You might need another step to remove empty rows if they divide by 10 exactly. I made the second account 40 to show. The regex might be the way to go. Thank you both!

I made a rounding mistake. It should be:
div(len([Note])-1,10)+1
Instead of
div(len([Note]),10)+1
The count always shows the number of rows required to fit the text string. Filtering is not required, because the count can always be calculated correctly beforehand.
