Hi Fellow Learners,
I am on the beginners module of the Alteryx and there was an exercise to parse data from a flat file (notepad file) and after importing using input tool, it was asked to create 3 separate fields from the following:
"Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow",123,'16-JUN-01'
"I do not like green eggs and ham",456,'25-DEC-10'
This data should be split as follows:
Field 1: Poem name
Field 2: Poem ID
Field 3: Read date
Now, my main consideration was to remove the inverted commas and single quotes from this Text File.
I tried what is given in the solutions on the Alteryx website:
Replace(Replace([Field_1], '"', ''), "'", '')
But for some reason this is not working and showing error after I press execute, which is:
Error: Formula (2): The field "" is not contained in the record. (Expression #1)
Could someone suggest as to what can be done, and please let know how this code (which I have mentioned above) works?
Since, String is inserted in "xyz" format, why here double quotes are inserted in single quotes?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks LordNeilLord
