Do these exist? Looks like Azure Data Warehouse has some pretty big limitations with not being able to use SELECTS. Grant, hoping you see this buddy and have some good suggestions! 😀

Ha! I don't. Have you tried using a tally table and Jeff's queries? I haven't tested that, but it'd be my go-to.

Yeah, it's my next to try outside of splitting outside of Azure.

Following Microsoft's ELT, as opposed to ETL, approach to Data Warehouse, you sure should be able to make that work. I'd offer to test it for you, but I'm a little slammed at the moment. I might be able to get to it next week.

Shouldn't be a problem. I use a lot of Python in cases like these. As the splitting needs to happen on a smaller dimension file, it shouldn't be an issue outside of Azure to address it. The issue, is I really don't want to split the file outside because the delimiters are dynamic depending on business unit and can be multiple positions that may or may not be to split. This is why I liked using functions because it allowed me to apply functions to columns to split on a SELECT statement as needed. This was one of the very cool options that Azure seems to lack at the moment. Hopefully in time.

Found a working example for Azure Data Warehouse (credited to wBob). Going to clean it up more before posting it up.

Totally forgot about this thread, then I got this email. Seems we have one in production.
