@sslattery17 lets apply the above regex  on your data and see whether you are getting the correct result. instead of the above regex you can also use the regex IIF(REGEX_Match([Bldg-Unit], "\b\w+\b"), [Bldg-Unit], "")

@binuacs 

 

I used IIF(REGEX_Match([Bldg-Unit ], "\b\w+\b"), [Bldg-Unit ], "")

 

It's actually removing the hyphen between the unit numbers but it does remove all the property names.  I need the - between the unit numbers if they exist.

Hi @sslattery17 

 

Try

 

IIF(REGEX_Match([Bldg-Unit], "\d+-?\d*"), [Bldg-Unit], "")

 

This should handle n number of numbers

Hope this helps : )

@atcodedog05 Thank you so much; I tried a few different Syntex but could not get the result. 

 

I much apprecate your help and @binuacs too on this.  I am still learning so the community help is my life saver.
