Multiple Expressions in Multi-Field Formula

jmarleigh

Hi,


I was just wondering if it was possible to have multiple expressions in a multi-field formula.

 

Currently I have two multi-field formulas chained together, the first to move negatives from the end of a number to the beginning.

 

IF Right([_CurrentField_],1) = "-"
THEN "-" + LEFT([_CurrentField_],Length([_CurrentField_])-1)
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF

 

and the second to remove commas from with a number.

 

replace([_CurrentField_],",","")

 

I would like to put these into a single expression.

 

Thanks,

Justin

HI @jmarleigh

You can embed one expression into the other, for instance:

REPLACE(
IF Right([_CurrentField_],1) = "-"
THEN "-" + LEFT([_CurrentField_],Length([_CurrentField_])-1)
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF
, ",","")
