Hi all,

Any help here would be greatfully appreciated, I just need a IF statement writing where if a ID's number of characters = 5 then add the letter "A" to the of the ID.

IF (Length (ID) = 5) Then (ID)+"A"


I have done If statements in Excel and Visual basic, but never crystal and im struggling.

Hope You can Help.

Thanks
Andy

IF Length({table.ID}) = 5 Then {table.ID}+"A" else ...

If Length(totext({table.ID},0,'')) = 5 Then totext({table.ID},0,'')+'A'
