Hi @Sshasnk 

 

You can do this using this regex expression

of\s(.*)

@Felipe_Ribeir0 @BS_THE_ANALYST  Can I do it using formula tool ?

Yes, use the formula called REGEX_Replace([value], ".*of\s*(.*)", "$1")... see picture below

Hi, @Sshasnk 

 

Please see the below.

TRIM(Replace(Substring([Desc],FindString([Desc], "of")),"of",''))

Please mark it as an acceptable solution if it works for you.

Cheers!
