I have a text field.  It is primarily consists of numbers (in a vstring).  But, a small number end in a letter -- to designate something being added.

 

I want to search the field and find only the entries that end in a letter.  How?

Hi @hellyars 

 

Use formula like below. By default, regex is case insensitive hence \u check for any letter irrespective of case.

 

 

IIF(REGEX_Match([Line Number], ".+\u"), [Line Number], Null())

@hellyars You could also take advantage of the way alteryx converts strings to numbers. It would drop the letters at the end. A formula like this would return false for the records you're interested in

tostring(tonumber([Line Number]))=[Line Number]
