data import expression help - delete part of a string

 

 I was wondering if anyone could point me in the correct direction for editing a string from a csv at the date import level using an expression.


I am not a programming expert and having looked at the string expressions I can't see a string that can do what I want on its own.


The string is:


{"@odata.type":"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference","Id":39,"Value":"BOL"}


The data comes from a Sharepoint lookup column. I need to extract the value only which is BOL


The ID in the string could be 1 2 or 3 digits, all other characters in the string do not vary.


I have been looking at search string and sub string  which I think may work but don't understand how you can pass the result down through a sequence of expressions to get the desired output of BOL


Using search string to find Value outputs the character count to Value and if 7 is added then that would give the character count to remove leaving BOL")


The remove command could then take care of the stray characters at the end.


Is this all possible?
