Hello @john ,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A platform.
Use the derived column transformation to generate new columns in your data flow or to modify existing fields.
In ADF, you can use the replace expression language to replace a substring with the specified string and return the result string.
For more details, refer Derived column transformation in mapping data flow.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
