Replace formula h elp

[wonka1234]

Hi,

I am trying to incorporate the following syntax in my workflow:

new column = replace ( old string from column , new string string from column)

But when I try to do this in a formula, it is overriding the target completely.

Replace('function group  ', [Name], '')     (space after function group is on purpose)

will get me :

"function group " in my column, where its should be IF "function group " exists make it null.

Can anyone help with this?

@wonka1234 
It will better you can provide a sample input  and desired output. 😁
My first glance tells that your formula seems not correct?
Replace('function group  ', [Name], '')   --> Replace([Name],'function group  ',  '')

Hey @wonka1234,

Replace Function Takes 3 parameters buddy.

Syntax: Replace(String, Target, Replacement)

String = Column Name which contains your original text

Target = This can be the entire above column or you may enter a part of values in that column.

Replacement = Column name that contains your replacement text.

Please check the attached workflow for better understanding.

Thanks & Regards.
