Remove unwanted characters

+12

Hello, this is an example of a value in my NAME field:

1290 Name 3 (Some Words)
1255 Another Name 12 (more words)

I’m looking for a formula that will get rid of the numbers and space before Name, and anything in parentheses) so would result in:

Name
Another Name

Thanks for any help!

This was as close as I got. Removes all whitespace though.

REGEX_REPLACE(Name,"(\\(.*\\))|(\\d)|(\\s)","")

EDIT: Or this. Leaves whitespace, which aren’t visable in Airtable.

REGEX_REPLACE(Name,"(\\(.*\\))|(\\d)","")
