Hi @kimvaldez 

 

You can use a replace (either normal or regex) formula or a find and replace tool. Your example is a bit unclear, but if your data is literally "A, B, C, D," then you could do:

 

Replace([Field Name],"A, B, C, D,","A")

 

Hopefully this helps, otherwise provide additional sample data.

Hello @kimvaldez ,

 

would recommend for this case using the “contains” formula.

 

IIF(Contains([Field1], “A”), “A” , [Field1]) 

 

that way to doesn’t matter if it goes A,B,C,D or A,B,C for example 

 

regards
