Need Subfield load expression for Different formats

Hello everyone,

I have 2 different qvd files which have same columns but i need to trim leading two zeros (if it has in the beginning, else load as it is) before joining them. I think i can use SubField function in the load script but none of the formats i specified worked. Following are the data formats from those two files.

TIA,

James

Try

if(Left(yourfield,2)='00',Mid(Yourfield,3,len(yourfield)), yourfiled) as Yourfiled

Hi James, can you try the Num() function?, ie:

Num(FieldName) as FieldName

To load string and numbers you can use: If(IsNum(FieldName), Num(FieldName), FieldName) as FieldName

May be like this:

Alt(Num(Num#(FieldName)), FieldName) as FieldName
