Lange Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Is it possible to create a calculation that will substitute some characters in a field and place the result in another field? Example: Field 1 contains "larsson" I would like to change occurences of "a" to "e" and "s" to "t", resulting in field 2= "lertton" Get the idea?
-Queue- Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 Make the result field a calculation of Substitute( Substitute( Field1; "a"; "e" ); "s"; "t" ), nesting as necessary.
Lange Posted August 30, 2004 Author Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks! it works. it was the nesting that solved my problem. Now I have a calculation with about 15 Substitute(Substitute(Substitute... - but it works!
