Could you use a data cleansing tool where you check the boxes to remove numbers and punctuation?

Hi @umairah —Hope attached the solution will be helpful:

.

 

Use this expression in the Custom Filter tool:

 

REGEX_CountMatches([Data], "\s([0-9].)")

 

 

Use below expression in the RegEx tool (for Replace in Output Method):

 

\s([0-9]{1,3}.)+
