Find or replace in Data Table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

So I have a data table, and in this there are numbers. Ex: 1203123. However, some of these numbers have "-", Ex: 120312-1230123.

 

I am trying to use the find and replace function to find all "-" and replace it with a blank space. However, when trying to do this I am told that the text I am trying to test with is an Invalid Value. 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @KaiHalpin !

     

    Try this:

    NathanAlvares24_0-1718915884394.png

    So I am trying to find - and replace it with %''%.

     

    Input:

    NathanAlvares24_1-1718915998729.png

     

    Output:

    NathanAlvares24_2-1718916018380.png

    If you need to replace it with a space enclose the single quotes with a space in % signs. Like this: %' '%

    Then output will be:

    I hope this helps.
