like function

[#1]

is there a like function in qlikview?

I have a column called "bonus_description" and it has both letters and numbers in it, for example "new member 100% bonus"

what I want is to replace all "new member 100% bonus" to just "100%" and then do the same where there is 50%, 75% etc

Use Keepchar() / PurgeChar() function.

[maxgro]

=replace(' new member 100% bonus','new member', '')

Try

     trim(replace(replace(bonus_description,'new member',''),  'bonus','')) as bonus_percent

Hi Abbasi,

You can use Keepchar() function.

Use like this in your script

Keepchar('bonus_description','0123456789%').,

it will fetch all the records like you want.

Hi Zainab,

there are a number of options

Here are 2

PURGECHAR()

KEEPCHAR()

Keep char works in this way:

keepchar ( 'a1b2c3','123' )  returns '123'

This is not "like" ...

Am I right?
