Hi

 

I need:

 

logic that can identify and remove if 2+ spaces or extra space at beginning or end of data - cant I use Data Cleanse for this?

 

 

Also, in the State column I see .Texas  and I see 0Texas

How do I remove the .  and 0 in front of Texas?

 

Which goes with this requirement

 

  • Remove symbols except - &
    • Omit extra space left for these symbols: ‘ . , #
    • Leave space in place of for these symbols: / +

thanks!!!!

 

 

any help would be awesome!

Use a Formula tool, review the functions available:  String Functions (alteryx.com)

 

Try Trim, ReplaceChar, Replace

For the numbers and periods you can check the following off in the Data Cleanse tool.
