Calculated Columns

$
0
0

I am using office SharePoint 365 trying to extract data from a single column and split it up to form new columns. I have file names in this format

Acc Num_Surname_First Name_Department

I grab the Name with a workflow and copy it to the Title Field so I can run calculated column queries against it..

I get the Acc Num using - =LEFT(Title,INT(FIND("_",Title)-1))

I get the Surname using - =MID(Title,FIND("_",Title)+1,FIND("_",Title,8)-FIND("_",Title)-1)

But I am struggling to collect both the 'First Name' and also the 'Department'

Department

if I use -  =RIGHT(Title,INT(FIND("_",Title)-1))

I get 8 characters, and playing with the values reduces or adds to them but does not stop at an underscore

First Name - I get nowhere. I tried some excel code but changing cells for SharePoint data still went nowhere..

This works in Excel - =TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_",REPT(" ",100)),200),100))

But SharePoint I know does not support SUB but also does not like this - =TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(REPLACE([Title],"_",REPT(" ",100)),200),100))



if anyone can help i would be grateful and if anyone knows how i would get further along the string (say if I had 4/5 underscores) that would be great too.
