I have a column with some data that I want to remove. Some rows have data that looks like this:
Tech Name
123456 - Mike Smith, 587985 - John Doe, 133455 - Jane Doe, 459832 - Jonny Five
Not all rows have comma-separated values. Most just look like 123456 - Mike Smith. I would like to remove the numbers and keep just the names. It was easy to remove the number and hyphen when there is only one value in the row. Looking for a way to split remove all the numbers and hyphen just leaving the names as a comma-separated list.
Thanks,
Pete
Hi @Anonymous
Create a custom column
Text.Select([Tech Name],{"a".."z","A".."Z",","," "})
