Hi All,
I am trying to create a new field which combines two fields that I already have using an expression. I have two sets of data from two different years with the same fieldname for one field [Crse/Course Title] and a new field in the second data set [Qualification Aim]. In the first year the data relating to the qualification aim (e.g. BSc, PhD) of a degree was combined with it's title. So for example 'BSc Psychology'. In the second year, the qualification aim was a separate field so the title would just be 'Psychology' and the 'BSc' recorded in the [Qualification Aim] field. What I want to do is to combine the data as follows:
=if([Qualification Aim]<>' ',[Qualification Aim]&' '&[Crse/Course Title],[Crse/Course Title])
I've also tried
=if([Qualification Aim]=' ',[Crse/Course Title],[Qualification Aim]&' '&[Crse/Course Title])
I get the same text in both fields after applying this calculation BUT I get a space before the Course Title for the records where the data is now a combination of Qualification Aim and Course title - like this :
BSc Pscyhology
BSc Psychology
What I want to do is reduce the number of records in the list box by half so when the 'BSc Psychology' selection is made I get data for both data sets.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Alison
Hi.
Try trim(Field) to trim your fields.
If that does not work, replace(Field,' ','')
