In order to add the sub-string of a field, you will need to divide the field into sections and create an individual field for each division. For instance, a phone number will be divided into Area Code – Prefix – Suffix from the single field of Phone.

  • Add the Field Name, and select "Sub-String" from the dropdown menu under Field Type.

  • In the Expression box, add the first field that you are dividing.

The correct formatting to sub-string a field starts with the original field in brackets, then add the starting placement of the value (Note: the scale starts with a ‘0’), followed by the number of values that it needs to include. For example, a phone number would be divided like this: 012-345-6789, meaning the number would be formatted like this: [Phone],0,3 [Phone],3,3 [Phone],6,4. Please also note that the commas must be placed where they appear in the formatting as well.
