Welcome Aboard,

I think you need to use Field function. Search the forum for details.

Hi,

you can use index(), or Field() function. Search the functions by string in px development guide.

Hi,

Use the below function Field(col1,delimeter,instance)

In your case Field(col,',',1) will fetch record before comma deleimter
Field(col,',',2) will fetch after comma deleimter
....................... etc

While Index() may find it, you'll need to use Field() as noted to actually extract it. Easiest way, that is, not the only way of course.
