shift left and shift right

[ajp18]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to shift left or shift right characters.


Thank you

What does shift left and right mean?

You can align a field/text left or right, and you can indent fields left or right, or you can pad formulas.

Please demonstrate your intent.

I am sorry,
I trying to display Account no on the report;
Account No is constructed of four fields and I want some of the fields to be left or right justified. Hence, I have formula called AccountNo where
AccountNo = Field1 + Field2 + Field3 + Field4

Is there any function to do shift left or shift right on a field or any suggestions?


Thank you,

Never mind, I have got it working,

thanks anyway

You can't use justification once they are concatenated. However you could use some conditional spaces to make them appear justified. Why don't you just put the 4 columns on the report side by side instead of combining them in a formula? That way you can use the aligment buttons to justify them independently of each other.
