    Making a field based on another field


    Is there a way to make a field based on another field but stop if you reach a number? See example below.

    INTUNT5433 = INTUNT
    INT876 = INT
    EPINTUMB 343 = EPINTUMB

    Thanks for the help

    You only want the alphabetic characters?
    The numeric characters are always at the end of the string?

    A little more detail in the requirement description would be helpful.

    make a custom function ,
    usage: getNoNumTxt("INTUNT5433")

    Code:
    
    
    Code:
    Public Function getNoNumTxt(ByVal pvVal)
    Dim vRet
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To Len(pvVal)
      If IsNumeric(Mid(pvVal, i, 1)) Then
         getNoNumTxt = Left(pvVal, i - 1)
         Exit Function
      End If
    Next
    End Function
