Nested json data Manuplation

Robel

Hello all,

my data is like

info_t	data_t
["first_name","last_name","age","height"]	["sam","john","35","6.5ft"]

and I would like the output as

first_name	last_name	age	height
sam	john	35	6.5ft

I have tried several steps such as "fold an array" and transpose the row to a column but I am able to perform this task for one column only (as there is no option to perform this task for multiple columns), and the information in data_t column repeats for every new column that I have created. The results that I am getting is similar to this

first_name	last_name	age	height
["sam","john","35","6.5ft"]	["sam","john","35","6.5ft"]	["sam","john","35","6.5ft"]	["sam","john","35","6.5ft"]

Thank you for your assistance.

Robel.

Hi,

Actually a valid JSON object would be more:

{"first_name":"sam","last_name":"john","age":"35","height":"6.5ft"}

If you cells were formatted as a JSON object you would then be able to use in a "Prepare recipe" the "Unnest object" step that would provide the expected output:

So the simplest options I see would be to:

1. transform your data to have directly a JSON object that can be unnested
   1. you could perform that transformation in a "Prepare recipe" using for example a "Formula" step
2. use a "Python function" step in "row" mode where you would for each row extract the new columns and corresponding values. More info on this step can be found in the documentation: Python function

I hope this helps.

Regards,
