Hi how can I remove the number "1" in the string "1 TOTAL ACCUM DEPN". What is the formula for this?

Hi @dunkindonut7777 

 

You can use formula like this

 

Trim(Replace([Field1], "1", ""))

 

Hope this helps : )

Hi @dunkindonut7777 

 

Try formula like this

 

Trim(REGEX_Replace([Field1], "\d", ""))

 

Hope this helps : )

@dunkindonut7777 ,

 

 an alternative to the use of RegEx (more expensive),

 

 

replacechar([field],"1234567890",'')

 

 this will replace anything in the quotes with nothing. 

cheers,

This was very helpful. Can you also remove leading and trialing spaces?  I assume this would be a conditional statement such as IF LEFT(1) =  '  ' THEN TRIM .... but there's probably a simpler solution.
