I'm needing a calculation field that returns only a portion of another field (Product_Number).

 

For Product_Number 0797-8851-1 the result should be 797 (no leading zero)

For Product_Number 5-4781-3-43 the result should be 5

For Product_Number 579-287-9-154 the result should be 579

 

Get the idea?

 

The result should equal the number before the first dash (except if there is a leading zero). In the case of a leading zero, I do not need the leading zero.

Let ( [
    _returnDelimited = Substitute ( "0797-8851-1" ; "-" ; ¶ ) ;
    _firstValue = GetValue ( _returnDelimited ; 1 )
] ;
    GetAsNumber ( _firstValue )
)

Try:

GetAsNumber(Left(Product_Number;Position(Product_Number; "-"; 1; 1)-1))

THANKS

Both solutions work GREAT.

Ok, I didn't think I would need this when I posted my original question, however, it looks like I will need an additional calculation field that yields the number between the first dash and the second dash also. 

For Product_Number 0797-8851-1 the result should be 8851

For Product_Number 5-04781-3-43 the result should be 4781 (no leading zero)

For Product_Number 579-287-9-154 the result should be 287

 

Sure appreciate any help getting this solution.

 

Thanks

You should have known how to do this by adapting the solutions given to your original question:

jbante's:

Let ( [
values = Substitute ( Product_Number ; "-" ; ¶ ) ;
secondValue = GetValue ( values ; 2 )
] ;
GetAsNumber ( secondValue )
) 

doughemi's:

Let ( [
start = Position ( Product_Number ; "-" ; 1 ; 1 ) + 1 ;
end = Position ( Product_Number ; "-" ; 1 ; 2 ) ;
mid = Middle ( Product_Number ; start ; end - start )
] ;
GetAsNumber ( mid )
)

 

Thank you very much
