Rename Field Value if it Contains a Number

[ecrobles18]

Hello All,

     I am working on an enhancement to an existing report. In this information that comes from a third party service company there is a field [ShipmentExtractRecord.PickLocation/Location/Name] that contains many different values. I have been asked to label the type of location by grouping what is in the contained in the name. The field [ShipmentExtractRecord.PickLocation/Location/Name] contains multiple name values such as,

GILLILAN 1-35-26XH,BLAINE

GOLDEN 1306 1 WH18,KINGFISHER

GRINDSTONE 2 FEE 2H,CULBERSON

HALWORLD - MONA

HARDESTY 1H2215,GRADY

HARDESTY 1H-22-15,GRADY

HES MULTICHEM  CANADIAN

HES MULTICHEM - CANADIAN

HEXION STEEL CITY

HICKMAN 2107 1MH22,GARFIELD

HICKMAN 2107 1MH-22,GARFIELD

The request is for anything that contains Halworld to be labeled "Halworld", anything containing a number, HARDESTY 1H2215,GRADY, in the name would be labeled "Diversion", and Lastly anything else, HEXION STEEL CITY, would be labeled "Other". The intent is to have this grouped and dispalyed on a chart. I am looking for insight on what the best approach would be here. If I write this in an if statement I would like to know how to account for the names that contain a number, as you see there is no standard on where the number is placed in the name. Kindly, can any lead some help on this topic? Your help would be much appreciated.

May be like this?

If(SubstringCount(YourField,'HALWORLD')>0, YourField) As Halworld,

If(IsNum(KeepChar(YourField,'0123456789')), YourField) As Diversion,

f(SubstringCount(YourField,'HALWORLD')=0 AND IsNum(KeepChar(YourField,'0123456789'))=0, YourField) As Other

Sasidhar,

Thank you for this but I need to assign the new name and keep them under the same field. This logic doesn't seem to work when I apply the same functions to a single field. Could you suggest how to solve it in that scenario? Thanks again for your help.

If(SubstringCount(YourField,'HALWORLD')>0, YourField) ,'Halworld',

If(IsNum(KeepChar(YourField,'0123456789')), YourField) , 'Diversion','Other' ) ) As NewField

Sasidhar,

     Again thank you for the insight this definitely help. However, I did have to modify a bit to get the output I was looking for.

If(SubstringCount([ShipmentExtractRecord.PickLocation/Location/Name],'HALWORLD')>0, 'HALWORLD',

If(IsNum(KeepChar([ShipmentExtractRecord.PickLocation/Location/Name],'0123456789')), 'DIVERSION','OTHER')) As NEWFIELD

Your help is much appreciated.
