Regex replace everything after matching word - can you help please

Hi folks

 

I think Regex replace is the right thing to do but not quite sure how to achieve it...basically if there is a matching SPA on its own and not part of another work like SPAIN then I would want everything removed after we find that word 

 

So

KPMG SPA REVISIONE E ORGANIZZAZIONE CONTABILE

 

Would become

 

KPMG SPA

 

Could someone help please?

 

Thanks

Cass

Hi @ck2024 

 

Your hunch is right. Here is the regex you can use

 

 

REGEX_Replace([Input], "SPA\s.*", "SPA")

 

 

Basically, if there is SPA followed by space and any characters replace it with SPA.

 

Workflow:
