Hi @ahsansalik,

 

I have prepared a workflow for you:

Hi @ahsansalik 

 

Here is how you can do it.

1. Split to column using text to columns delimiter space

2. Trim space and hyphen 

 

Hope this helps 🙂

I can however using your workflow add another formula to remove L but if i get anything else then i would have to add another formula function so i need to make it geneic
