Is there any way to Group By part of string in SOQL.

For example something like:

Select Id, Name from Object__c group by Name.substringBetween('.','.')

So query by part of a string field and not the whole field.

The other approach that can be taken to this is to create a formula field that takes the substring between the name field, and then use that field in the group by, if there is no other option.

Thanks in advance.

If you really want to use specific field values in GROUP BY then create a text field and update the text field either by workflow rule or Process builder or trigger.

Formula field is not supported in Group By clause.

There is an idea Allow SOQL GROUP BY on formula fields posted, you could vote for this idea.
