LEFT, RIGHT FUNCTION

DataAnalyst

Hello, I have 2 columns with qtrs formatted as Q2/15 and so on.

 

My calculation for deliquent quarters will look at both these quarter fields. Since i cant subract in this format, I used the LEFT function to extract the year values from both the fields which works fine.

 

However, when i use the right function to get say the value 2 in Q2/2015, i get all 0s. Is there a regular expression i can use or try something else. I just need number 2 from Q2/2015.  I have tried trim function as well.

 

Thanks!

Hi @ufarooq: "20" + Right([Year],2). Alternatively: Replace([Year],'FY','20')
