Field Character Count

jodester77

I'm trying to build a character count into a formula.  Basically, if field 1 is 9 characters long, I want it to give me a certain value in a new column.  I can't seem to figure out how to do this.  I'm not matching a certain character, just need a count of the characters in field 1.  Any suggestions?

IF Length([Field 1] = 9 THEN "NINE"

ELSE Null()

ENDIF

Null() could be anything that you wanted.  "NINE" could be "9" or 9 depending upon the data type.  You could even just make the column a byte and use:

Length([Field 1])

Then decide what to do later....
