Exclude Customers when they only have an initial for a first name

Tessa

Hi there - I think the subject line pretty much sums it up! 

 

I have a database of customers who have only a single initial for their first name. I'd like to exclude these folks, but I am not sure how to make that happen. 

 

So, if the customer's name is A Johnson, I want to exclude them.

If the customer's name is Ben Johnson, he's included. 

 

Thoughts?

Hi @Tessa,

 

Try this in the Filter tool (where names are in field "Name"

 

REGEX_Match([Name], "\w\w+?\s.*")

 

If this works, please mark this as an accepted solution to inform the Community your question has been answered!
