Hi,

 

I have a column with some letters(see below)

 

1210IO5342UF

435T459w34B56

78fg4669lZG6V672

 

Is there any way I can remove all the letters and get the following output?

 

12105342

4354593456

7846696672

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi @rajputakansha 

 

I would recommend using a Formula tool and using this expression: 

REGEX_Replace(REGEX_Replace([Field1], "\l", ""), "\u", "")

 

This basically looks for any uppercase or lowercase letters and replaces them with nothing. 

 

Hope this helps!

Another option would be to use a Data Cleansing Tool with all options in "Remove Unwanted Characters" checked except "Numbers." Make sure to select only the column you want to process!
