Using Concatenate to combine four fields into one; results in zeros when a field is blank.

asked on December 10, 2020

I am having the same issue as this user, in this post from March 2019, which does not appear to have been answered:  https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/156149/Zero-0-in-empty-field-being-populated-by-forms-during-a-concatenate-function#156514

  • My formula is:  =CONCATENATE(Employee_Name, NameSeasonalEmployee, Councillor_Name, ASB_MemberName)
  • The result is:     00Connie Prendergast0     (depending on which of the fields were blank)

 

Is there a way to have the zeros not show up?

Until they fix the issue Connie, you could do something such as this, assuming 0's were very in the names

=SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(Employee_Name, NameSeasonalEmployee, Councillor_Name, ASB_MemberName),"0","")
