Use the substring command.
VariableName = SUBSTRING(PartNumber,5,2)
Filter on VariableName = "60"

Subject: [Vantage] RB ?


I am trying to create a report for a few inventory items. These items come
in different colors and sizes. The part number indicates color and size. For
example Black rolls of Vinyl have the following part numbers:

742-15
742-20
742-30
742-60

The 742 means BLACK and the 15, 20 ,30, 60 mean width. I only want this
report to show me on hand quantity for the part numbers that are 60" wide.
How do I get Report Builder to make this selection?

Thank in advance

In the filter put

partnum='742-60'

or whatever part number you are looking for.
Hope this helps

Sorry about the previous answer, I read the original question
wrong. In your filter use

partnum MATCHES '*60'

This will give you all part numbers that end in 60
Hope this helps even more that before.
