Hi Kenda,

 

I understand what you in the Formula tool, but don't understand the syntax of the following line "REGEX_Replace([Users], ".*\s(.*?)\d+", "$1")"

Can you please explain this or tell me where I can teach myself about this syntx.

 

Many Thx,

 

Johan

Is there any other tool except Inner join to compare expected output and achieved one?
