Why Multi Field Formula omitting first field name to remove double quotes??

Hi

 

I have been running below workflow and i have used Multi Field Formula to get rid of double quotes for each value. However, when i run workflow the first value is still showing double quotes. Is there any way i can fix this. You can see below screenshot to understand the problem.

Okay. Here i have attached a dummy file. Please look into it and do the needful. I noticed that there is space before but i couldn't cut it by using trim formula.

You need to pack your workflow so it comes with your data input.

Sorry again. I am new to Alteryx and this community. I have attached the package now.

Hi @indras111 ,

 

It's what I thought.

Try:

replace([_CurrentField_],'"','')

Apparently there's a hidden character before your quotes. And it's the Unicode 65279 character, "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE",, according to this article:

 

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9691771/why-is-65279-appearing-in-my-html

 

I'd remove it this way:

 

stripquotes(ReplaceChar([_CurrentField_], CharFromInt(65279), ""))
