Calculation Question

Last post I learned about the replace function. I have also learned about right and left words. But I have data that I can't use Replace on. Maybe left or right word, not sure. So, here it goes.

Data Fields>>[color:red]imported_data(text), country_short_name(calculation), country_long_name(calculation)

My [color:red]imported_data looks like this. {between words are space, not tabs}

[color:green]AFGHANISTAN AF

AMERICAN SAMOA AS

ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AG

BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY IO

To get the country_short_name>>I am using this calculation>>[color:purple]RightWords (Imported_Data ; 1 ) :yay:

The problem is with the country_long_name>>I tried this calculation>>[color:purple]Substitute (Imported_Data;RightWords ( Imported_Data ; 1 ); "") It works, but if the coutnry_short_name is AR and if AR is in the country_long_name is substitues " " for AR. Thus, this calculation won't work :qwery:

[color:brown]So, now I am stuck and that is why I have turned to you.

Thanks in advance.

How about:

LeftWords ( Imported_Data ; WordCount ( Imported_Data ) - 1 )

Thanks for the quick answer comment. Yep, that works.

Slick function actually. The wordcount(imported_data)-1. Cool. :party:

[color:green]Count all the word of imported_data and minus 1. :chili:
