I would like to separate the prod_code_date column (a string of varying lengths, from one “pair” to multiple “pairs”) into multiple columns based on the delimiter “:” and “,”.

I have distinct pairwise data points in column Utterance; the data pairs have identical Timestamps. I’d like to pivot the distinct Utterance pairs wider and align them on the same row with the same Timestamp. I can do it, though I’m wondering if there’s a way to do it more elegantly, more directly than this; specifically, can steps 2 and 3 be omitted or replaced by information related to the Timestamp?

I am trying to figure out a easy way to break down by [Group], [Geography] and [Filled] the ratio of filled job ID by unique recruiter. This would be at scale eventually for tens of thousands of data, but just can’t figure out the basic code to accomplish the task before scaling up.
