Truncate or SplitI have a large dataset and I would like to split with the first 7 characters in a new column. I am trying to use the left function, but I am getting an error.

for a 16 digit number this formula would give you the 7 left digits, where you can also use trunc instead of round ...
Round( :event_time / 1000000000 )
Re: Truncate or Splittry
left( char( :event_time ), 7 )
I am guessing that your event_time column is numeric
