Hi

 

Could someone tell me how I can extract and return the FY and Q information for each file in a directory. So i need to return "FY19 Q2", "FY19 Q3", etc

 

Thanks

I'd use a REGEX tool configured like this:

 

2019-06-06 22_32_19-Alteryx Designer x64 - New Workflow5_.png

 

 

The Regular Expression itself is just 

 

FY\d\d Q\d

 

meaning FY then 2 numbers, a space then Q and another number.

 

The tool will create a new column with the details that you require from the filename.

Hi @nsarayar ,

 

Please find attached the Alteryx workflow which will extract the year and quarter portion from the directory.

I have used below formula to calculate this
