Hi all,

I have a qustion. I have a list of customer names. Now I want to add a collecter, but I want this based on the name of the customer. I want the collecter to be 'Dagmar' if the names starts with the letters A, and R untill Z. If it is anything else, I want it to be 'Inge'. Can anybody help me write this formula?

Thanks in advance

King regards,

Gerben

if uppercase(left({table.customername},1)) in ["A","R","S","T","U","V","W","X","Y","Z"]
then "Dagmar"
else "Inge"
 
That will work provided the first letter in the customername string is the letter you want to take into consideration, ie if you want the first letter of the surname the above formula will only work if your string is as follows;
 
Surname, Firstname
 
it won't work if the string is;
 
Firstname Surname
 
Regards,
Ryan.
