Abstract
A computing device selects a sample of data values from an existing data column in a data source. The device generates statistics describing occurrence of consistent delimiters within the sample of data values. The device identifies a first delimiting location within the sample of data values in accordance with the generated statistics. It also creates first and second new data values by splitting each data value in the existing data column at the first identified delimiting location. It stores the first and second new data values in first and second new data columns, respectively, and assigns field names to the first and second new data columns. The device further displays, in a data visualization user interface, the assigned field names and a data visualization generated according to the first new data values based on user selection of the assigned field name of the first new data column.
