Removing Commas

Hi, 

This might be really simple but I wanted to remove commas that were by themselves on empty columns. I will provide a picture below for more context

I want to keep the commas if there is a name next to it but remove the commas on ones that don't. Thanks in advance!

You can use the following formula:


if length(trim([BL2Final])) = 1 then regex_replace(trim([BL2Final]),',','')
else [BL2Final]
endif

Or you can use the Multi-Field Formula to do the same:

if length(trim([_CurrentField_])) = 1 then regex_replace(trim([_CurrentField_]),',','')
else [_CurrentField_]
endif

Hi @dpatel53 ,

 

For the lines which had commas only, we assign a null value and for those where we had names, the commas in prefix are kept.

 

Find attached a way to do this
