@ManuelRodrigues ,

 

Keep it simple:

 

If [Start Location] = "Home" THEN "" ELSE

Substring([Start Location],5)

ENDIF

 

Cheers,

Hi @ManuelRodrigues,

 

You can also use the regex tool in Alteryx to do this. You will want an expression like this:

HOME-(.*+)

 

The capturing group in the parenthesis will be anything after HOME. I use regex101.com to help me with regex.

 

If this helped your problem, please mark as a solution to help other members!

 

Thanks,
