Joining with spaces

Hi Team,

The problem is when I am joining with iDrive file(which I am inputting to Teradata table) which has just one space ': and AWD'(eg: Best in Class: AWD10) with MC_Desc file which has two Spaces between ': and AWD'. That's the reason its not joining, is there any way to make it consistent for these names across both files in Altreyx?

Hear are few examples with Spaces

Best in Class: AWD10
Specialty Care Abuse Awareness: Child Abuse
Specialty Care Abuse Awareness: Elder and Vulnerable Adult Abuse
CL Direct: Trailing Documents and Contingencies
MSB 010 - MS/B 4.1 Overview

Hear are files and workflow

Master Course file has two spaces and iDrive file has one space.

Thanks

Sorry, I should have clarified. The expression is using REGEX, but it's to be used in a normal Formula tool, not the REGEX tool. Delete those two REGEX tools you added and update the two Formula tools as illustrated below.

In the top one, use

UPPERCASE(TRIM(REGEX_REPLACE([Course], '\s{2,}', ' ')))

On the bottom, use

UPPERCASE(TRIM(REGEX_REPLACE([Training_Title], '\s{2,}', ' ')))

Hi @Kavya432

Not sure if i'm fully following, but this expression below may help to clean multiple, consecutive, spaces found in a string.

UPPERCASE(TRIM(REGEX_REPLACE([Field1], '\s{2,}', ' ')))

Apply this to both sides before the JOIN. It'll find any instances of 2+ spaces and reduce to a single space then trim out any whitespace found at the start or end then uppercase all.

Hope this helps!

Thank you foe suggestion, But using that doesn't work,doesn't improve the number of rows.
