If REGEX_Match([Column1], '([A-Za-z])(\s)(.+)') then Regex_Replace([Column1], '([A-Za-z])(\s)(.+)','$1') else null() endif

 

 

 

If REGEX_Match([Column1], '([A-Za-z])(\s)(.+)') then Regex_Replace([Column1], '([A-Za-z])(\s)(.+)','$3') else [Column1] endif

Use a RegEx tool and use the following expression: (.)\s.*

Set the output method to parse and set column to parse as your column 1. Attached is a sample workflow for reference. 

Below is a screenshot of the same.

 

This regular expression finds your single character followed by a space if it exists, if it cannot find that pattern, it returns null.
