Question:
Hello,
I've got a characteristic which is material code. We use 10 characters for it. The last ones are used to know the quality of the material (A choice or not...).
Is it possible, for this characteristic, to display only the 1st 8 characters ?
Thanks by advance
Answer:
Well, in web reporting you could use the table api to modify your results set, but that seems like a real pain. Or in excel you could use VB to trim it down?
Why not change your update routine to add attributes, or add to the description just the material number sans the last bits. You could change your update routine to either change your key and split it out, or add it to the short, medium or long text, or add it as an attribute.
Other then that, I don't know of a way to trim the text.
Answer:
Thank you for your answer Sbobcat. I'll, then see it with my developpers.
