Hi,
I am fetching some data from Database, i have a number field.
I need to dislay Leading Zeros for that field.

Suppose it fetches 95 from database, it should Display 0000095 while showing Report.

I Tried many Ways,
FORMAT(FIELDA,"000000000") but formula editor returns error Boolean value is required.

Right("000000000"&FIELDA,9)
Same error is returned.

Please Suggest solution

Solution 1

Try a format specifier of all 9s. E.g. "99999999".

Solution 2

Convert your field to string, so formula should be like below

Right("000000000" & CStr(FIELDA),9)

There is an option Show Leading Zero[^] in Formatting Numbers dialog box[^]

Also check this for formula(leading zero)

For Display String in the Format Editor for a 5 digit int Zip code CStr({Payee.Zip},"00000",0)

"00000" is the format, 0 is the number of decimal places.
