Replace text before a string

Mancunian

I have values in a column that read  NS50367 Base and 56789 Case 2.

How do I get the values to only be Base and Case? The numbers and later before base and case will always change. Base and Case will always remain the same.

Hi @Mancunian,

 

You could use: REGEX_Replace([Value], '.*(Base|Case).*', '$1')

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

I should have been more specific. My values are actually this 

10201 Base Case
5337 Case 2 - 12position
Ns5337 Case 3 - Increase Size

 

How do I get these to only remove the prefixes before Base and Case. So that I get the following.

 

Base Case
Case 2 - 12position
Case 3 - Increase Size

I see! In that case you could use REGEX_Replace([Value], '.*?((?:Base|Case).*)', '$1')
