Hi Guys,
Is there a way to return the second or third next or previous record values using the get next/previous functions or perhaps a custom function to do that.

Automatic Field Name Updates
Forums
Hi Brian
I am trying to create a custom script that will automatically update field names without manually updating each of them using Field Manipulation. Essentially I would import two separate files. One would contain the "Raw Field Name" and "Updated Field Name". The other file would be the dataset on which the field names need to be updated. I have attached an example dataset. For example:
The field AN8 represents the Employee Number. In the Data Set Tab we would need to rename the column "AN8" to "Employee Number".

@Replace function
Forums
Hi there,
I'm trying to replace my first numeric to a new numeric, e.g. from 38 to 88.
I try put in @Replace(USERID,"38","88") and it prompted me an 'Invalid parameter'.
Any idea what goes wrong here or there is other @function that I could actually use.
Thanks.

Assistance with Time Ageing
Forums
Hi Brian,
How am I able to calculate the time age within the records in the database.
From the attached screen, I would like to find out the age time between row2 & row3. How am I suppose to do that.
I can do that in Excel with the =text(B3-B2,"hh:mm:ss") command, what's the @function to be used in IDEA?
Any help would be much appreciated here.
Thank you in advance.

Custom function to determine the value at the seventh position
Forums
Hi Brian
I am trying to write a custom fucntion that will return the value at the position number seven from a 13 digit number eg:
7801315046080 - The value at position seven is "5" in this case.
Once I have this value, I need to write an IF statement as follows:
If the value at position 7 is between 0 and 4, it must return "Female" and "No Exception" in two different columns and If the value is at position 7 is between 5 and 9, it must return "Male" and "Exception" in two different columns.
