Done! 🙂

Hi MB,

The error is in the syntax of the PadLeft function. You should have accounted for the length that the String needs to be once you insert the prefix character. The below modified code should work for you. Hope this helps!

IF Length([Safety Code]) = 6
THEN PadLeft(PadLeft([Safety Code], 7, "C"), 8, "S")
ELSE [Safety Code]
ENDIF

Spoiler

The complete formula using PadLeft (accounting for the other conditions) would look like this:
If Length([Safety Code]) = 6 then
PadLeft(PadLeft([Safety Code], 7, "C"), 8, "S")
ELSEIF Length([Safety Code]) > 8 then Left([Safety Code], 😎
ELSE [Safety Code]
ENDIF

My Solution - 

• Remove leading zeroes - just change it to numeric format
• Trim leading zeroes and/or descriptive text at the end - Use text to column to remove descriptive text and then change to numeric format
• If the data value ends with ID, remove the ID - Using if formula. If it ends with ID, remove ID
• If more than 8 chars, remove anything after 8. If only 6, add “SC” to the front. - Using if elseif formula
