Separating Data based on number of characters

RB90

Hi All,

 

I was given a set of data that has two different types of numbers co-mingled together (NABP and NPI). My NABP numbers have 7 characters while my NPIs have 10. I'm looking to use the formula tool to add a column that indicates which is which but I have no idea what that syntax would look like. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

Hi @RB90 

 

Try this:


IF Length(ToString([Field])) = 7 THEN "NABP"

ELSEIF Length(ToString([Field])) = 10 THEN "NPI"

ELSE "Others" ENDIF

 

Cheers,
