I am trying to figure out someone else's report that I inherited... Can someone explain to me what this formula is doing?
IF InStr({OD.COMMENT1},"*",1) <= 1
THEN ' '
else
MID({OD.COMMENT1},INSTR({OD.COMMENT1},'*')+1,999)
In the first line I get that it is searching for a * in the field. Is it saying if it finds 0 or 1 occurrences to print ' '
on the bottom statement, what is the MID,INSTR, +1, 999 all about?
Thanks!!
