TrimRight with wild card?

Hi everyone

 

I am trying to use trimright to remove a specific number characters;

 

TrimRight([Ten-Minute Timeline],":*0:00")  where the fifth character from the right needs to be a wild card to catch the minutes.  When i run it it strips the last  4 characters but leaves behind the number of minutes.  Is there a way to set this  ?

@mgirdwood Basically the data is in DateTime format, if you want to only date part just update the dataType to Date

You could keep it in DateTime format by using DateTimeTrim([Input],"hour")
