Hello Mahesh,

yes that's correct! I am expecting exactly the same. However it would be for all the data coming from source so not just few records. I want to have pure data without having any special characters, only numbers and any kind of junks like whitespaces, nulls. Just pure data and combination of char+number would do.

Untitled.png exactly like this, could you be able to share the code with me please that would be really helpful.

Thank you,

Regards,

Sandhya
