How to do mid formula

Hi - I am trying to get the MC out of a field under the condition that the field has the word "CODE" in it. I am trying to use the substring formula but it's not giving me what I want. 

 

OD CODE: MC C 

 

 

this is what I am attempting to use:

 

If Contains([Daily Count],"CODE")
then
Substring([Daily Count],8,9)
else
Null()
endif

Hi @jenner85,

 

If you want to receive only MC the formula should look like this:

 

If Contains([Daily Count],"CODE")
then
Substring([Daily Count],9,2)
else
Null()
endif

Hi @jenner85 — Also, try this solution... the same results you can achieve using RegEx expression:

 

//Method- if "MC" or anything else is available upto 2 length
If Contains([Daily Count],"CODE") Then
 REGEX_Replace([Daily Count], ".*:\s(..).*", "$1") 
Else
 Null() 
endif
