Formula vs. Parse & Date

[jalizmaldonado]

Hi, I went through several discussion posts regarding delimiters and trimming left and right but I'm not sure how to apply that in my case. 

I'm having to extract information from NCURP (ex:BEDD701221HNELXR06)

Day: 9 & 10 digit
Month: 7 & 8 digit
Year: 5 & 6 digit

Gender: 11 digit; M = F and H = M

Do I trim left and right then parse the date and gender to then use the datetime tool? I feel like I'm over complicating this.

The easiest way to achieve this is with character counts in the regex.

Use substring()

BEDD701221

01234567890

substring([field],8,2)

substring([field],6,2)

substring([field],4,2)

cheers,

Hello @jalizmaldonado ,

It can be done with a substring.

Have a look at this and hopefully it will help
