Creating a Validation restricting multiple special characters

I would like to create a validation to be used on the Report Name to restrict use of multiple special characters. Is there syntax that will build such a validation?

Hi @Virginia13 ,

 

Please try below regular expression and add validation under Report Name field.

^[^!^@^#^$^%^*^(^)^+^=^?^<^>^|^\^/]*$

 

In this, if you want to add any other special characters then you can add using ^special char in this format. 

^[^special char1 ^special char2 ^special char3.....]*$
