Hi,

 

I am not sure but try to use REGEX_Replace function in the formula tool.

 

REGEX_Replace([Field], '[^Iii|^Vii]', '')

 

Thanks

the passed checking variable is not limited to just two conditions

[length of last word] = 3 && Contains(Right([field], 3),'Iii' or 'Vii') ||
[length of last word] = 2 && Contains(Right([field], 2), 'Ii' or 'Iv' or 'Vi' or 'Ix' )||
[length of last word] = 1 && Contains(Right([field], 1),'I' or 'V' or 'X')

my aim is to strip the final denominations and group them together i have tried multiple regexes but failed where if I have some thing like vice principal and accounting v  i would end up with ice principal and accounting v

Hi @AA007,

I changed the solution logic by adding te Find Replace Tool. This will let you list any string that you want to strip out from string. Take a look at the attached solution.
Thanks
