I need a tool or formula to remove for Address field - cleaning up data

 

  • Remove symbols except - &
    • Omit extra space left for these symbols: ‘ . , #
    • Leave space in place of for these symbols: / +
  • remove if 2+ spaces or extra space at beginning or end of data in cell

@hi2019 ,

Though it may not sound very fancy, I would use Formula tool, as you can put in as many functions as you like.

 

Input / Output data

InputOutput
 !"#$%&'()*+,-./ &
0123456789:;<=>?123456789
@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_PQRSTUVWXYZ
`abcdefghijklmnoabcdefghijklmno
pqrstuvwxyz{|}~pqrstuvwxyz

 

Expressions in Formula tool

Output = ReplaceChar([Input], "'.,#", "")

Output = ReplaceChar([Output], "/+", " ")

Output = ReplaceChar([Output], '!"$%()*-:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~', "")

Output = REGEX_Replace([Output], "^\s\s+", "")

Output = REGEX_Replace([Output], "\s\s+$", "")
