Are you just looking to grab the last part? If so, the attached should work. It's looking for the last string, separated by a space.

 

.+\s(.+)

Hi @preethisisaac 

 

Here is another way to do it.

 

Formula

GetWord([Text], CountWords([Text])-1)

 

Workflow:

Here 

 

CountWords([Text]) gets number of words

CountWords([Text])-1 gets last word position (since position is from 0 to n-1)

GetWord([Text], CountWords([Text])-1) gets the word at last position

 


Hope this helps 🙂 Feel to ask if you have any questions
