Renaming text within a field

Hi,

I have a MULTI BOX with 1 of the drop downs displaying a REASON DESCRIPTION.

The REASON DESCRIPTIONS are as follows...

Wastage Standard

Wastage Reduced RSP

Wastage Newspapers

P/O Damages (Picco)

P/O Damages (Cashier)

P/O Pricing Errors (Cashier)

P/O RDC Sell Offs (Cashier)

P/O RDC Sell Offs (Picco)

P/O RTC (Cashier)

P/O RTC (Picco)

I want to make it a bit more user friendly by renaming as follows...

Anything starting with P/O added together and renamed 'Price Over'

Anything starting with Wastage added together and renamed to 'Wastage'

so the drop down will only have the 2 descriptions as renamed above.

Can someone tell me how to do this please?

Use calculated list box with expression
aggr(if(left("REASON DESCRIPTION",3)='P/O', 'Price Over', 'Wastage'), "REASON DESCRIPTION")
