RegEx question

Miki2021

Hi all,

 

I want to replace the original sales order number to SAP number: 

 

Order number on sales platform: 555555 

Order number on SAP: 8000555555

 

Is there a better way to use RegEx to do the trick rather than using Excel to change the raw data?

 

thanks in advance!

if you "just" need to add 8000 in front of the platform number, you can do the folowing in a formula tool:
"8000"+tostring([PlatformNumber])
-no need for regex

@Nanoq thanks for the tip - do I need to change the original numeric format to string?

Hi @Miki2021 

 

You can use the formula like below should take numeric type and give numeric type.

 

ToNumber("8000"+tostring([PlatformNumber]))

@Miki2021 ,

 

Keep it simple:

 

8000555555  is equivalent to 8000000000 plus 555555

 

Try this formula:

 

8000000000 + [SAP Number]

 

Cheers,
