I have a field that contains the type of shifts that someone will work in a day set out like this:

Long day (LD)

Night (N)

Early (E)

etc...

How can i have it so that in a gallery where i have this information showing (thisitem.shift), that it only shows the information in brackets? Just pulling out this part of the data essentially for display.

Put this code in the Text property of a label inside the gallery. Make sure to replace FieldName with a column name from your datasource.

Match(ThisItem.FieldName, "\[(.*?)\]")

To be consistent pick the first letter for all:

Left(ThisItem.shift,1)
