Remove Characters Found in another Field

How do I remove the EXACT characters found in one field from the end of another field?

Example

Field 1                   FIELD 2        DESIRED OUTPUT

STONE NAM         NAM             STONE

SWST                    TEXAS          SWST

 

I tried TrimRight([FIELD 1],[FIELD 2]) but it removes S and T from the second line because those characters are in Field 2. I only want it to remove it if all of the characters appear in order in the field.

Hi @mem2243,

 

You could use:

 

Trim(Replace([Field1], [Field2], ''))
