Finding the First Number in a field
Posted on 2006-06-08
Is there a formula that could look up the first # in a text field?
Example
I have QFRS755-1-1 in a field. I would need to have the formula return "7"

have you tried:
left(getasnumber (field);1) ?
I have no fm to test that now...
if it does not work, try:
left ( getasnumber (field) * 1 ; 1 )
normally, the multiplication should clear off the characters and keep only the numbers from data (that was true for v6)
