I have a report that runs most of the time, but if i have a blank field it errors.
I am trying to pull a number out of a string but if there is no number, i get a non numeric error message. How do i introduce a bit that says if there is no number after the “:” just put 1 tonumber(right({SfReport.Ta18},(len({SfReport.Ta18})- (Instr({SfReport.Ta18}, ":") )))) The data looks like this Sheet Size : 1200 Or Sheet Size : 1st one is fine, 2nd one is where i get the error. |

Use this code (Crystal syntax):
If IsNumeric(Trim((split({SfReport.Ta18}, ":")[2]))) Then ToNumber(split({SfReport.Ta18}, ":")[2]) Else 1 |
