Hi, I have a column from which I need to extract text after a specific index word (MP).using the following code:
catx(" ", scan(TEST_NAME , 2, "MP")) as NAME,
this is what I end up with:
TEST_NAME | NAME |
MP KONSTANTINE ABCDE | |
WNP BM OPS TEST MP CIGI FANNING | BM O |
MP DAN BkENTHER | |
ERA MONTREAL TEST MP MARIA PUBRANTI | MARIA PUBRANTI |
MP MARIA PUBRANTI | |
MP BRUCE WAYNE | |
MYABCD DIG CHAN TEST MP ABCDE DADOUN | ABCDE DADOUN |
MP JENNIFER NOSNIKOF | OSNIKOF |
MP STEVE PETERS | E PETERS |
below is what I want - However, I can't seem to get the code right to extract the text after "MP", any suggestions, please? Kind regards 🙂
