First word of a field

[darder]

Hi

How could I create a computed column tha shows just the first word of a sentence of another column?

Example

Column “Name” = Sandra Bullock
Computed Field = Sandra

Thanks!

How to extract components from split text column

I have a “name” field, and added a computed “split text” column. How can I extract the first component into a “first name” column and the last component into a “last name” column? Computed is fine. I just don’t see a way to do it.

You could use the Extract Matching Text plugin for this.
