Split Data

Hello I'm having issues with putting together a formula that allows me to change anything with an Auth0 name to Okta and anything with an Okta name to Auth0 after the dash. I cannot get the formula to read in sequence. It only makes the change 1 way. For example, if the name reads Business Operations - Auth0 I need it to read Business Operations - Okta and so on. I need to keep the preceding text and only flip the name after the dash.

we can add more text to generate a unique text to replace the target text.

like this case we add "- " in front.

 

replace([Dept - BU], "- Auth0","- Okta")

The issue I'm coming across is it only changes it one way. I need anything that says Auth0 at the end to change to Okta and anything that says Okta at the end to change to Auth0.

You can solve this with an IF-ELSE statement in a Formula Tool: 

  • If the string has "- Okta", switch it to "- Auth0"
  • Else if the string has "- Auth0", switch it to "- Okta"

Here is my output. Note that I added a new column just to demonstrate the effect - for your case, you should overwrite the existing [Dept-BU] column.
