Help with formula

I need help with the creation of two formulas:

  1. I need to convert a string value that says "Mid-Atlantic" to "MA"
  2. I need to remove the dashes from a SSN (e.g., xxx-xx-xxxx converted to xxxxxxxxx)

 

Thank you.

Hi sbb,

 

I have attached a workflow which shows the function I used. 

 

I used the Replace and RegEx replace functions. 

 

Best,
