Hi,

 

I looking to extract extract specific data within fields, the data delimited with commas so can be split via Text to Columns however i was wanting to know if this can be done via a formula?

 

Below is similar to what I looking to achieve, concatenate any data with AB.*.

 

Data column (Input)Output (AB.*)
ZX.AS, AB.CD.EF,AB.EF.CD,QWE,AB.MN.AS,DATAAB.CD.EF,AB.EF.CD,AB.MN.AS
DATA ,QWE,AB.MN.ASAB.MN.AS
AB.EF.CDAB.EF.CD

 

Thanks in advance,

Ash

hi @aka_ash ,

 

Not too sure about the formula tool, but you can accomplish this with Regex.

Hi @bpatel,

 

Thank you for this, that is the outcome I am looking for.

I will have to learn how to do this with the Regex formula.

 

Thanks again,

Ash
