I have the following options in a multiselect field with:


Table sample options:

first row: “$5,400” & “10,400”

second row: “10,400” & “Promo”


How can I extract the first option; for first row would be “$5,400” and for second row should be “$10,400”


Thank fo your help.


The ‘comma’ is giving me hard time to extract the right record.

SUBSTITUTE(

   IF(

      FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) > 0, 

      LEFT({Multiselect Field}, FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) - 2), 

      {Multiselect Field}

   ), 

   '"', 

   ''

)

^ check to see if there is more than one selection, get the first selection by finding where the first comma+space there is, then remove any extraneous quotation marks inserted.

SUBSTITUTE(

   IF(

      FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) > 0, 

      LEFT({Multiselect Field}, FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) - 2), 

      {Multiselect Field}

   ), 

   '"', 

   ''

)

Thank you very much. It does work perfect for the explained needs.


However, there is row with options: “$900” & “promo”

the output should be “$900” but it reads “$90”


I am thinking there is no magic command like EXTRACTFIRSTOPTION() :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Try:


TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(

   IF(

      FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) > 0, 

      LEFT({Multiselect Field}, FIND(", ", {Multiselect Field}) - 1), 

      {Multiselect Field}

   ), 

   '"', 

   ''

))
