There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have a data set that brings in names under the column BDM Name with FY 2024 at the end of the name, see below screenshot. What is the best way to remove the "FY2024?" I have about 8 BDM names I need to change. Should I use a replace text tile in ETL?

You can use a replace text tile in an ETL to remove the known value, "FY2024". Or a command like this if it's static:

TRIM(SUBSTRING(`BDM Name`, 1, LENGTH(`BDM Name`) - LENGTH('FY2024')))

Or get a be more complicated using a regular expression in a formula:

REGEXP_REPLACE(`BDM Name`, 'FY\\d{4}', '')

and wrap the TRIM command in there for spaces

TRIM(REGEXP_REPLACE(`BDM Name`, 'FY\\d{4}', ''))
