Hey everyone,
Curious to find that there doesn’t seem to be a single question asked in the community about Wildcards in formulas; maybe search is down :man_shrugging:t2:
I’m trying to find out if the Long Text in a field {Instructions} contains a phone number, and then extract that phone number.
Now, since I know that will end up being very complex for a formula field, I have settled on (at the moment) just wanting to know IF the field contains a phone number, or at the very least, 3 digits in a row (indicative of probably a phone number based on my use case), and marking the field as True.
How do I search a field to know if it has 3 digits (or more) in a row?
Thank you for your help!
Adam
