Hi can someone help me to extract the TEXT3 after the second " - "

I’ve tried this formula but haven’t been able to reference the second " - "

IF({Engineer + Seniority + Direct Manager}, REGEX_EXTRACT({Engineer + Seniority + Direct Manager}, “(?:\- )(.*)”))

Text sample: TEXT1 - TEXT2 - TEXT3

Hi,
i’m too sleepy to regex now, at morning
so i crafted this.
also, you can change a number (2) to cut after third, fourth occurence etc.

RIGHT(Name,-FIND('CUT',
  SUBSTITUTE(Name,'-','CUT',2)
)+LEN(Name))

If it’s always one word at the end, Regex would work like this:

\w+$

$ matches the end of the string. If there would always be two words, Regex looks like this:

\w+\s\w+$

and if it can be both, you can use an alternation (“|”) in between those two:

\w+\s\w+$|\w+$

Let me know if that works!
