Formatting Formula or Regex

Christion5

Trying to figure out a formula or regex that will add a space to an ID number before a certain letter/ letter pattern.

 

Example: 1234AABC -> 1234 AABC

                      1234567AABC -> 1234567 AABC

 

(Where a space is put before every "AA")

Hi @Christion5 

 

The normal replace function like below should work.

 

Replace([Field],"AA"," AA")

 

Replace "AA" to " AA" with space in before. Regex method would be just complicating it.

 

Hope this helps : )

With the field named ID you can use:

Replace([ID], "AA", " AA")
