Formula help

Can you please help me with a formula to get the result on the right?  I tried an IF CONTAIN formula, but it's not working.

I got an error.  How do I update the data type in the formula tool?  It's grayed out for me.

If you are changing the formula on an existing field you can't change the datatype in the Formula tool (use a Select tool before to achieve this).  If you create a new field in the Formula tool then you can set the datatype.

Can you please look at my workflow I provided above and let me know how I can fix?  Thank you so much for your help and continued patience!

Don't create Field2 in the Text Input, create it in the Formula tool :) 

 

see attached.

Can I email you if I have further questions? Or should I reply to the thread?

Always better to post in the forums :)   If you still have a problem with the formula then post here, if it's a new issue then start a new thread.

 

I just realised you are in Irvine as well, just down the road from Alteryx HQ :)
