Mushi Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I am trying to step up a auto entry calculation that gets the first letter from the FirstName field. I can get all the text that is written in that field, but I only want the first letter. Does anyone know of some way to do this? I am pretty new to FileMaker, and I cannot figure this out. Thanks everyone -mushi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi Mushi, Try Create a New Field: FirstLetter Calculation = Text Result Left ( YourFieldName; 1 ) HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
