Hello,

Yes I Load data from SAP, but not R3, I Use SAP BW.

Ufortunally, I can't use your approach because I don't Know how much zeroes are leading in each Material.

Take a look at the enclosed where leading zeros are removed.

Hello, DK_ASN

That's a great. Thank you for your suggestion.

I have had great success with

evaluate(OriginalField & '* 1') as MyStrippedField;

Evaluate to force the field to be evaluated as a numeric the & '* 1' portion makes that evaluation against algebraic identity.  if I need to also format a decimal point such as a string with leading zeros that also needs a decimal point placed as money

evaluate(OriginalField & '* .01') as MyStrippedField;

Or whatever the number of characters you need the field moved .1 .01 .001 etc.

Hope this helps.

This always worked great for me:

replace(ltrim(replace(MATNR, '0', ' ')), ' ', 0)
