Hi There
I have the following field (purchase order lookup ) which I am trying to extract a substring from with a saved search formula:
I want this substring to extract everything until the first blank space i.e. exclude the word 'regards' and only extract '13448/93458'
On the record itself this is what the contents of the field looks like
This is the formula used:
REGEXP_REPLACE(SUBSTR({custevent_po_lookup},1,INSTR({custevent_po_lookup},' ',1,1)),' ',' ')
Why is this extracting the word 'Regards'?
I have another example where the same formula is extracting only to the first <space> and nothing beyond:
This is the field on the form itself (when in edit mode)
Why am I getting a different result when the data in the 'purchase order lookup' field is formatted the same and the formula is pointing to the exact same field?
thanks
