Data cleaning

Hi all,

 

I have a column that has all numerical values. But there are some special characters too that I am trying to strip out.

 

Input:

",

",

23

34

45",

",

56",

",

78

 

I need it to be:

 

 

23

34

45

 

56

 

78

 

Can anyone help me in achieving this in RegEx. Or any other way possible?

 

Thanks

Hi @rajputakansha 

 

If you just want to strip out punctuation use the Data Cleansing tool under the Preparation Tab.

@Thableaus ,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I figured out 2 more ways to do this.

 

1. REGEX_Replace([Field], "[\D]", "")

2. Replace([Field],'",',"")

 

Yours one is obviously the easiest one. 🙂

 

Thanks
