Replace multiple text variations (e.g. "Question 1", "Question 2", "Question 3", etc.) with a single expression

Hi.

 

Is it possible to replace "Question 1", "Question 2", "Question 3" etc. with a single replace expression, instead of nesting expressions for each particular phrase? E.g. by instead asking to replace "Question *" where * may be any number or character?

    @tslupphaug regex is not supported in Power Automate, the only way I see is to split by space, take first and then replace "Question " with whatever value you want and then concat the number or character with value you replaced.

     

    You can check this but I think it makes no sense for your usecase
