Nested Functions in Formula Error
I'm trying to use the result of one function as a parameter within another and getting an error. The goal is a Regex which will return the first "word" after the first space in a Contact's entityid.
REGEXP_SUBSTR({entityid},'[A-Za-z]+',INSTR({entityid}, ' '))The nested INSTR function, when given its only column, works perfectly well. Similiarly, the REGEXP_SUBSTR function returns results as expected if I use a hardcoded value, like:
REGEXP_SUBSTR({entityid},'[A-Za-z]+',6)But when used in conjunction, I get:
for every result.ERROR: Invalid Expression
Any suggestions?
