SQL 2008 Reporting Services
Need help in how to effectively write this custom code for my report. I have a field that houses truck numbers and for the report need to correct errors. Example: Truck numbers W01 can be entered as W-01, W-O1, WO1 - these go up to 09. Also truck numbers ZUC01 are entered as ZUC-01, ZUC-O1, ZUCO1 and go up to 09. Suggestions would be grealy appreciated on the most effective way to code this.

Replacing the - will allow for comparison and allow it to be grouped. Please note you selected you own question as the solution, did you mean to accept mine?
