Split multi-valued cells in multiple columns into rows (Open Refine)

Question

I am clearing an Open Open table. Now it looks like this for me:

REF                 Handle      Size        Price
2002, 2003          t-shirt1    M, L        23
3001, 3002, 3003    t-shirt2    S, M, L     24

I need to split these multi-valued cells in REF and Size to get:

REF                 Handle      Size        Price
2002                t-shirt1    M           23
2003                t-shirt1    L           23  
3001                t-shirt2    S           24  
3002                t-shirt2    M           24
3003                t-shirt2    L           24

Can this be done in Open Refine? The "Split multi-values ​​cells ..." command executes only one column. Thanks Ana Rita

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible:

• Separate the 1st column using "," as the separator.
• Move column 2 to position 1
• displays your project as a record (not a string)
• Separate column 3 using "," as the separator
• Fill in columns 4 and 2
• reorder columns

Here is my recipe for GREL:
