Title: Strip of the frist 3 characters in a name
Post by: lcarlos on 04 Sep 2009 09:48:24 AM
The report has subtotals which is fine but the description for ex: says B&P HQ Labor and they want it to say HQ Labor, or OH-Int'l Medex and they want it to say Int'l Medex.  I need to know how to write the expression for this request.
thx ???

Hi,

You can use substr function, syntax is substr([Expression],5,n)
