Hi Team,

How do I convert comma separated values to columns in OTBI Report.

For eg- We have created a multiple select choice list field and data is showing in comma separated values in a row. We need to convert it into columns in OTBI report.

    Is the CSV data coming in from a file or held in a database table field?

    Can use instr to search for the comma and substr to extract the data between located comma's. Is the data free text i.e. is it possible that the text contains commas as part of the text entry?

    It is a multi select choice list which we have created. If a user has selected multiple values for that field on the UI, then it is showing value in report separated by comma.
