Hi,
I have the following issue:
I am working with data coming from Excel files which has to be appended to data coming from SAP.
Now, the customer_numbers we have from SAP are usually filled up to be 10 characters long - filled up with 0s.
Okay - so I have to basically do the same with the data from Excel, easy enough so far.
The issue is, in some records from Excel there is no customer_number - I aggregate those to something like "2200\IT\Ext" - those would be all the records with no cust_no in the Bukrs 2200, the customer being in italy and being external. As you may have noticed, this has 11 characters, so filling up to 10 won't work.
So I came up with >> TRIM(Right(('0000' & [cust_no]), 11)) << - this would cut out 11 characters from the right and in case there is a regular cust_no, there would be a blank to the right which I cut off with TRIM().
Should work, no? Well, it doesn't - in some cases I still get an 11-character-number with five 0s to the left - how can that happen? There is no 0 to the right, only to the left - what went wrong there and how could I mend it?
Can somebody shed some light on this?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
