Hi

I have a column that contains a alpha numeric values with a "-". The position of this - varies across the values.

All i need is the 4th character from the right of the string. What is the way to get this. In excel I used the left right formula for the same.

Eg - 123abc-001 (In this case i need the -)

        234defgh02 (In this case i need g)

Regards,

Avinash Prem Kumar

Hey @premkav 

 

I would do Substring(ReverseString([Field1]),3,1)
