SPLIT (string, delimiter, token number) | Returns a substring from a string, using a delimiter to divide the string into substrings and then using the token to determine which substring to return. | SPLIT([Phone], "-", 2) returns "633" if the value of [Phone] is "206-633-3400" since "633" is the 2nd token substring delimited by a hyphen. |
