Welcome!

The closest analog is going to be “contains” where the format would be

Contains([field],”search string”). This returns a true false value, so you could include it in an if statement to account for missing values.

Alteryx has the "findstring" function which can return the character position when the text is found

@vishal_masharuwala There are a couple of ways you can do this. Have you looked at the Regex_CountMaches() function? You can also use the contains() functions.

 

Input: Apple

- I want to count how many p's are in there

- Formula: REGEX_CountMatches([Field1], '[p]')

Output: 2

 

Here's a complete list of all the functions.
