Configure Employee Number Issue

Hi everyone...payroll recently changed how they create employee ID (EID) numbers so this is causing a problem for one of my import scripts (we change the EID to be more streamlined) used to update employees schedules from an excel file.

For example the new format always has a "00" or "01" prefix

e.g.:) 001234 we want configured to 1234

012345 we want configured to 12345

So, here is a calculation I used to try and meet this need:

Right(EID ; 5)

which works fine, of course, unless the EID was originally 001234 then it goes to 01234.

I know there must be a way for the calc to go futher and if a 0 appears at the beginning of this newly configured EID it will drop it to appear as 1234.

Any ideas? I'm sure it's something simple :(

I used to h

Try GetAsNumber ( EID ).
