I amusing CR v11 and have a field within a table that I need to replace the last 3 (or 4 when there is a 4th) digits with something different. Example: The field within the table has a number such as 12345678901C or 12345678901CR. I need to create a formula that will replace the 01C and/or the 01CR with *01 I think it's simple, but can't figure this one out. Thanks in advance

I am assuming that the length of the data is fixed (12 or 13 characters long). If not you will need a slightly different a approach. left({field},9)+"*"+mid({field},10,2) |

It was not a fixed length, so I tweaked it just a bit and it works perfectlly....Thank you so much!
