mustufa2019

I am trying ti write a formula that will look for this field CNB_GL_ACCT_CNT from the below table and replace characters after ACCT_ with XXX. For example, the formula will look for CNB_GL_ACCT_CNT and return the field like this CNB_GL_ACCT_XXX.

Hi @mustufa2019, you could use the RegEx tool and use its Replace Output Method to achieve your desired result. Attached is a sample solution for your reference. The expression itself is:

(?<=ACCT_).*$

Hope this helps!

Great question, @mustufa2019. However, in future please be mindful when you choose tags for the post. For example, Spatial Analysis and Salesforce are clearly unrelated to this post.

When I search for posts containing a certain tag, it is very frustrating to find poorly tagged questions that waste everyone's time.

Please use appropriate tags for your questions in the future. I understand you may not always know the exact tag to use, but your mindfulness will improve that undoubtedly improve your selection process.

Effectively tagging your questions will ensure that we have an effective Alteryx community and are not burdened by bad search results.

Thanks!
