custom report - truncate in sql

Mar 13, 2009 2 Replies

I have a report that groups sales by zip codes. However, many of my zip codes have the four digit extension. Does someone know the command I can put in the zip field to truncate the zip code for the main 5 digits, allowing the group total for the main zip code?


you will have to edit the report in notepad to change the formula:

Begin Column FieldName = "ZipCode" DrillDownFieldName = "" DrillDownReportName = "" StoreIDFieldName = "" Title = "Zip" VBDataType = vbString Formula = "left(Customer.zip,5)" ColHidden = False ColNotDisplayable = False FilterDisabled = False ColWidth = 630 GroupMethod = groupmethodNone ColFormat = "" ColAlignment = flexAlignLeftTop End Column
