* doesn't work as a wildcard with Contains - you'll have to split it up into Contains last AND contains :orig

 

Or you'll have to create a Regex_Match to replace it

Hi, @Johmz 

 

FYI.

Spoiler
IIF([FIRST NAME] = 'name:orig' || (Contains([FIRST NAME], 'name:orig') && REGEX_CountMatches([FIRST NAME], 'last\d:orig(?:\s?\||$)')), 'Correct', 'Incorrect')

can i also use Regex_MATCH if FIRST NAME contains but not equal to last*:orig?

Hi, @Johmz 

 

Yep, you can do it with Regex_Match function.

I feel that we better split the "First Name" column with delimeter "|" then check with your condition.
