Hi Chanty,

keepchar([FieldName],'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')

will not work as this will remove all numeric and uppercase characters leaving lowercase characters only- all data in Qlik is case sensitive.


tT exclude the first character, use mid()


mid(FieldName, 2) will return everything in the field from the 2nd character.
