OTBI - Locating 5th occurrence of character using substring and locate

edited Apr 12, 2021 2:23PM in Reporting and Analytics for HCM 12 comments

Summary

Several fields have been migrated into one field and need to split into separate columns into OTBI

Content

Several fields have been migrated across as one field separated by a "."

I am trying to pick up the 5th occurrence of "." in the below field and not display any data after this field.

For example in the below example I need to extract "09" 

PTFA..UNIDAYS.01.Yes.09.2021.Admin.No.

The below picks up everything from the 5th full stop (period) onwards, but I just want to display the two digits.

This field is also not always populated so could end up being empty.
