Hi, i have been working on a dashboard with a table to copy paste values i will put a picture of the result payload when i do the paste of values is an array with 8 or more objects, and inside this objects there is 3 strings with the values that i paste so basically i want to split it and grouping the values like in 3 strings for example string 1 will be: col1 = ["1","2","3","4","5","6","7"]; and the same with the values of column2 and 3.  
i will put the code that i have afer the function of the table i put the action what i'm trying to to with this values like a delayed msg with the respective values on the table.

Ok, now I know what you mean. I would do it in a function node.

- loop trough the rows
- loop through the keys in one row (Object.keys(row))
- push each value in a separate array  
That‘s only the layout

When you share „only“ JavaScript code it is better to share the code and not the flow. Than people who have no access to Node-RED or enough time can take a direct look without the need of importing your flow.

Don’t forget to use the code function.

So perhaps try something like this

```auto
var msgOut = {payload:{}};
msg.payload.forEach((row) => { // loop through all rows
    Object.keys(row).forEach((key) => { // loop trough all collumns in a row
        if (!msgOut.payload.hasOwnProperty(key)) msgOut.payload[key]=[]; // create new column array if not extisting
        msgOut.payload[key].push(row[key]); // push value on column array
    })
})
return msgOut;

```
