Right returns nothing

Hello,

I have a problem with the right method which returns nothing.
To understand, here is my input table :

VALUE
A15
B0
C85
F1
G89

 

What I would like to find as a table after:

LETTER NUMBER
A 15
B 0
C 85
F 1
G 89

 

For this use :

 

VALUELETTER:
LOAD
Left(VALUE,1) as LETTER,
If(Len(VALUE) > 2,Right(VALUE,2),Right(VALUE,1)) as NUMBER
Resident TABLE

 

 

With this code I get this :

LETTER NUMBER
A 15
C 85
G 89

 

Why right returns nothing when the length is two ????

Thanks !

That's almost it.

If I have "A1" and "A01" it turns me 01 for both but it's not the same for me 🙂

I want this :

A01 A 01
A1 A 1

The problem comes directly from Qlik which for him 01 = 1, except that not for me. I'll have to understand why

The function Keepchar would work for you as well:

VALUELETTER:
LOAD
Keepchar(VALUE,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') as Letter,
Keepchar(VALUE,'0123456789') as Number
FROM Source...;

I can't use Keepchar because I have value like H0H for example
