Hi Team,

 

I am unable to get an output where I want to get all the characters post "-" from a string field using the in db formula tool.

 

Input: 00165 - Basic Service fees

Output: Basic Service fees

 

Any help would be appreciated,

 

Thanks,

Hey @Pssw0rd, what database are you using? The In-DB tools require you to use the correct SQL syntax for the platform you're connecting to. Here's a couple of some methods that would work using, a - Oracle:

 

 

SELECT
SUBSTR(<FieldName>,INSTR(<FieldName>,'- ')+2)
FROM <TableName>

 

 

b - Snowflake:

 

 

SELECT
REGEXP_SUBSTR(<FieldName>,' - (.*)',1,1,'e')
FROM <TableName>

 

 

Hope this helps!
