Unique NUMBERS in field

urorar
5 - Atom

HI there.

 

I have data that is coming in a single field that holds several numbers, without delimiters,  example:

 

111112223333444

 

Is there a way to select unique numbers ? The output should be 

 

1234

 

I saw this post   but is not filtering unique numbers... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Leveraging the great Stack Overflow post in your reference and modifying for the numbers (and no commas), this regex seems to work well:

 

regex_replace(input,"(\d+)(?=.*\1,?)","")

 

Example workflow with tests is attached.

 

If this is what you're after, please mark as solution - if not, happy to revise.

 

Thanks!

Matt
