Re: Formula to include string based on existence of specified strings : not working reliably

Hi Abhilash

I entered the LowerCase statement into the formula, but out of 5 records containing the included criteria, only 2 were included in the output... so I added an UpperCase statement as well... but this made no difference... still only 2 records out of 5 in my output.

Here is the formula as it now stands.... let me know if the UpperCase lines are not required (could you explain how the LowerCase statement covers upper case data?).

then ({ecatalog_csv.SumRegistrationNumber})+ chr(13) + ({ecatalog_csv.DesObjectStatement})
