Hi @EvansM ,

You can achieve this by first using a text to columns tool to split on the - and then use a multi-row formula tool to check if it's the first occurrence of the first element

Hey @EvansM 

You can technically do this in one Multi Row Formula tool, but it could potentially slow down your workflow by using a RegEx formula since you have millions of rows to go through. The formula would look like this:

IF REGEX_Replace([Input], '(\d+)(\-.*)', '$1')=REGEX_Replace([Row-1:Input], '(\d+)(\-.*)', '$1') THEN Null() ELSE [Input] ENDIF

Cheers!
