Hello all, new to all this. When creating relationships between tables. Can you create joins off of calculations? I have an org number and I need to substring the field to be substring(org,9,4) on each table that needs to be joined. I keep getting an error with really no error message.
So is it even possible to do this? Or do I need to add fields in the database to do this? Or even in FM to do this.
here is the calculations:
SUBSTRING(i_ORGS,9,4) join to substring(i_ORGANIZATION_ID,9,4)
when on the grid tab, each return the correct data. Just don't know why I can't use this as a join

Yes and in one of the sample FM models there's an example of one. It will be awfully inefficient but needs must I imagine.

Have you tried clicking on view details? In some places, such as the relationship editor preview UI and the data grid, when something goes wrong there is a message to that affect with a link which says 'view details'. If you click it you get the error message details.
