  • Hi,

     

    As per your question your values are either of 2 or 3 characters. You can use concatenate function. create a column where you should check length of your character. If it is less than 3 then concatenate it with "00" and if length of character =3 then concatenate it with "0".

     

    check the below expression if this works as per your requirements.

     

    column = if(LEN(your field)<3,CONCATENATE("00",your field),if(LEN(your field)=3,CONCATENATE("0",your field))). Check teh screenshot below.

     

     

    Thanks,
