Hoping someone can help.  Not finding an answer when searching the Community.  Here's what I have in place:

I need to be able to use a LIKE type of statement and each condition is multi-part.  Open to suggestions.

 

Tried to post this yesterday, but it seems to have not gone through.

 

Thanks!!!

Try:

IF StartsWith([number], "01") AND [name] = "1" THEN "S1"
ELSEIF StartsWith([number], "01") and [name] = "2" THEN "S2"
ELSE [name]
ENDIF

Note that this assumes number and name are string fields

 

If you need more wildcards then regex_match is probably the easiest way to go.

 

If numbers then either use a select to change the type or you can replace [number] with ToString([number])

Yep, that appears to have done it.

 

Thank you SO much!  You're a Rock Star!
