    can you please clarify if we need to use below one in above expression

    Use replace('current string', 'text to replace', '') where '' has no spaces so it just removes it

    Thanks for the details.

    replace('current string', 'text to replace', '')

    how to use the below formula in this expression or do we need to modify etc

    variable 3 expression :last(split(outputs('Compose_2')[6],': '))
    variable 4 expression: last(split(outputs('Compose_2')[8],': '))
    variable 5 expression: last(split(outputs('Compose_2')[12],': '))
