How to remove one tag from a multi-select column without removing the other tags in that column

Madison Bogard

Automation gone wrong! I set up an automation to help me with tagging our marketing content. But when I ran it, it added the tag "Client Stories" to every cell in the Content Programs multi-select column.

I would like to remove the "Client Stories" tag from the entire column without removing the other tags since it's a multi-select column.

Is there an automation or something that could help fix this?

Hi @Madison Bogard

You can use the SUBSTITUTE() function if it is OK to have another column.

=SUBSTITUTE([Content Program]@row, "Client Stories", "")

Hi @jmyzk_cloudsmart_jp thanks so much for your advice!

I tried the formula on a duplicate sheet (in case I messed something up), and it worked!

The trouble I'm having now is that the new column isn't connected to other reports and filters. And when I tried to copy the old info into the new column, it showed as an error.

Is there a way to remove the "Client Story" tags from the original Content Program column, not a new column?

Hi @Madison Bogard

I would copy and paste the help column value (new column) to the column referenced in the reports (old column).
