Extracting constant text and variating numbers from column

Vmgh

Hi All, 

I have a column with around 100 rows as the ones below. I would like to remove all characters except CPM along with the underscore and the 3 following numbers (CPM_XXX). I have tried to look around and found ways to get the CPM from each field... Unfortunately i can't find a way to get the variating numbers included. Any suggestions?

Hey @Vmgh 

 

With the regex tool (in parse mode) use the expression: (CPM_\d{3}) which means find CPM_ then 3 numbers
