How I can remove leading zeroes

[sparur]

Hello, colleagues.I have a small problem, which I can't resolve elegant.

I want to remove leading zeroes from my Data.

I tried to do some text / num converting, but it didn't help me.

See attached file

Hi Anatoly,

Just one more possible solution for future readers...

num( EVALUATE(FieldToDeleteLeadingZeros),'#0') as MyNumber

[#5]

I guess this is an old thread, but I remove leading zeroes by replacing them with blanks and then using ltrim on load like this:

replace(ltrim(replace(FIELDNAME,'0',' ')),' ','0')

It seems to work and is pretty elegant.

[#6]

I use this formula:  replace(ltrim(replace(FIELDNAME,'0',' ')),' ','0')

and it seems to work.

Hi Rakesh,

Nice to see you here!. Was looking for a solution to this and found your answer, however I think this won't work for all scenarios.

If I have a material number: 00-001-002, this solution will return -001-002 therefore I enhance a little bit your already elegant solution:

if(purgechar(MATNR,' 0123456789') = '',replace(ltrim(replace(MATNR, '0', ' ')), ' ', 0),MATNR)

Regards,

Cesar

Thanks. This worked well for me

I use

num(num#(FieldName))

[pentaxadmin]

I use EVALUATE([FieldName] & '* 1') as replace(ltrim(replace(FIELDNAME,'0',' ')),' ','0') was also removing 0 inside the string, not just leading 0s

What on earth does that * 1 do?
