What is the RegEx formula to fix this?

 

abc,,,test,,something,,,,blah

 

s/b

 

abc,test,something,blah

 

Need to remove extra commas where ever two or more show up together.

Hi @Brad1,

 

You will be able to use REGEX_Replace([ColumnName], ',+', ',')  in a formula tool

 

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

With this formula:  REGEX_Replace([test], ',{1,}', ',')  

 

I will rule the world.
