Split alphanumeric field

[aswin34]

Hi


I need to split alphanumeric field ( such as 567E, 567S) into 567 and E separately. But 567 should be text type. It had relationship with another table with the connected filed is of text type.

I used val(Field) which gives numeric separately (567 with number data type). When I link this another table where 567 field is defined as text, which I cannot modify, getting error message "Data Type mismatch"

Appreciate if somebody helps on this

Thanks

in your query have
[code], val([code]) as CodeNum, , cStr(val([code])) as CodeStr

to get the code, its num value, and its string value. Now you can join to whichever you need.

One way is to use the FORMAT function to coerce it back to text, i.e.

Format(Val([MyField]),"0")
