My solution.  

 

Not sure if anyone will see this here, but I had a question about using wildcards in a formula tool.  

 

For the second output I used a formula Trim([Trimmed],": Report"), and while this works to achieve the correct output, I was trying to figure out a way to trim any text where there was a colon and any characters after.

 

Is there a way to achieve this using a Wildcard in the formula?  Any help is appreciated, thanks!
