I’m trying to create a Zap that removes the last character in a string of text ONLY IF the last character is a dash (-). Is there a way to do that with Zapier Formatter?

If there are no other dashed in the text, then you can just use Replace within the formatter to replace the dash with nothing, and it will be removed.

Thanks for the reply. There are other hyphens in the string, but I was able to get it figured out.
