Hi Guys,

Trying to figure out how to get the last space within a string and then extract all characters after the last space.

This is a dynamic string and not in all instances will the string have a space. I only need to extract all characters after the last space if there is a space.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think the easiest way to do what you are asking is to use a combination of Split and Last functions.

Last(Split(<<string to extract from>>,' '))

Split will split the string into an array based on the spaces in the string. Then Last will give you whatever follows the last space.

This will return a Blank as there are no spaces,

With({myString:"Apples,Oranges,Bananas"}, If(IsMatch(myString, Space, Contains), Last(TrimEnds(Split(myString, " "))).Result, Blank()) )

This will return 🍌🍌🍌

With({myString:"Apples,Oranges, Bananas"}, If(IsMatch(myString, Space, Contains), Last(TrimEnds(Split(myString, " "))).Result, Blank()) )

Please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.
