Hi,

 

Let me know if there is a tool that can do this! thanks!!

 

Invoice #:  GHMCC5300 

Amount: -55611175

 

What I need to accomplish is a total string of 24 characters adding zeros before the amount but after the negative sign. The 8 is a fixed digit. 

 

8 GHMCC5300-000055611175

Is the Invoice and Amount on two different rows or are they in two different columns?

Try this. 

 

'8 ' + [Invoice]+ '-' +padleft(REGEX_Replace(tostring([Amount]), '-', ''),12,'0')
