Replace + GetNthRecord to Fill Down

This afternoon I pulled this data into FileMaker from a spreadsheet, and needed to “fill down” the region names in f2.

Of course I could have filled the region down in Excel prior to importing, but here I was already in FM. At first I was going to use a looping script, but then it occurred to me that it would be nice if Replace could do the trick.

I was curious whether this Replace logic would work…

Yep, works just fine.
