Hello Team,

 

I have the following data in a column 'Fruits'

 

Fruits
Oranges, Oranges
Apple,Apple,Apple
Kiwi
Grapes,Grapes, Grapes

 

This data is part of a large table and this is from the end outcome.

 

Is there a way I can retain just one value for each row in the column.

 

Expected outcome is :

 

Fruits
Oranges
Apple
Kiwi
Grapes

 

Thanks

Hi @JDong,

 

I have created a workflow for you:

I would suggest a formula of:

REGEX_Replace([Fruits], ",.*", "")

 

This will delete everything from the first comma on.

This works too thanks !

 

I also used a REGEX formula to achieve this result

 

TRIM(REGEX_Replace([Concat], '\b(.+),(?=.*\b\1,?)', ''))

 

@jdunkerley79  This trims the spaces as well

Hi @JDong 

 

If you dont have leading spaces(i,e before the text). I dont think trim is really required.

 

Anyways glad to hear it got solved.

 

Happy to help 🙂

 

Cheers and Happy Analyzing 😀
