I found the TrimLeft and other string functions within the formulas module to be quite helpful for this exercise.
Handled the last 2 challenges with a single formula using conditional logic commands.

Part 1:
- Convert input to number using ToNumber function














Part 2:

- Convert input to number using ToNumber function (this automatically removed all text characters - but did have to resize to INT32 to hold larger number)

 

 

 

Part 3:
- Remove "ID" from right 2 characters of field (if it exists)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 4:

- Calculate string length

  -- If = 6 append "SC" to front

  -- If >8 grab left-most 8 characters

  -- Otherwise, no change

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pleasant surprise was converting string to number removed text automatically.

 

Lessons learned:

- converting string

- be careful about length of new field (can be huge accidentally)
