   Topic: truncate a number
Posted: 26 Jan 2011 at 2:19am |
Hi All
i'm a newbie to Crystal Reports. Hope someone can help me out.
I have a 19 digit number on a report and would like to see only the last 6 digits? How is this done?
If you show step by step

hi DBlank,
it is showing in exponential format.
e.g.: 1234567890123456789 --> 1e+019
it should shown as 456789.
we need to work around for it.
