Hi,

I have data like 'US.USA.Florida.Miami'. I need to split this string as below

Continent Country State Location
=========== ========= ========= ============
US USA Florida Miami

Delimiter is dot '.'. Kindly let me know is there any chance to do this using the
sql server built in functions.

Thanks in advance.

Yes you can use the PARSENAME function.

Hi Tara,

I have data like this 'US.USA.Florida.Miami.'. I missed the dot at the end. If we have the dot at the end,PARSENAME function is not working. Is there any other built in function we can handle this.

I got the output using your inputs.
PARSENAME(STUFF('US.USA.FLORIDA.MIAMI.',LEN('US.USA.FLORIDA.MIAMI.'),LEN('US.USA.FLORIDA.MIAMI.'),''),2)

Thanks

PARSENAME(LEFT('US.USA.FLORIDA.MIAMI.',LEN('US.USA.FLORIDA.MIAMI.')-1)
