I have a peculiar problem.
We get customer names from our economy system, and for some reason some customers have numbers in front of their names. The series goes from 1 to 99999. As you can see, sorting is not possible with this.
Example names:
123 Johnson & Johnson
4321 Dick Tracy 77-99
55991 Good productions 7 ltd.
Speven Stielberg
What I want:
Johnson & Johnson
Dick Tracy 77-99
Good productions 7 ltd.
Speven Stielberg
I'm not looking for a solution yet, I'd just like to know your thoughts on if this is possible, so I dont waste my time ๐ค
Solved! Go to Solution.
This woudl fix the [Name] issue. Though it might be work looking at preventing the numbers if you can.
IF(
AND(
ISNOTBLANK(NUMBER(INDEX(SPLIT([Name]," "),1))),
NUMBER(INDEX(SPLIT([Name]," "),1))>0
),
SUBSTITUTE([Name],INDEX(SPLIT([Name]," "),1),""),
[Name]
)
Try this. But will only work for numbers that are the first work in the sentance and sperated by a space from the second word.

This works like magic!
I now believe in magic.
Thank you so much! ๐
I added Trim() around the formula to remove empty space.
