I want to split the description as below.

“Video Conference-Non stock” item.

I am not sure as to how do I split this or get data to the left of ‘-’

I did try using the Instr and Strrev function to no avail.

Can I please receive some suggestions on this.

Hi @amitkaryekar 

Please use InStr( str, findStr ) and Left( str, length ) combined with IIF function.

For example:

= IIf( InStr( [InventoryItem.Descr], '-' ) > 0 
    , Left( [InventoryItem.Descr], InStr( [InventoryItem.Descr], '-' ) )
    , [InventoryItem.Descr] )
 

 

Best Regards,

NNT
