    Dear all,

    I have a problem with one cell in my column, where Lavastorm says the length (len) is 8 , but it's actually 7.
    I've tried to remove it with the trim() formula but this does not work.

    Additional information:
    I work in the Netherlands, perhaps that's relevant since Lavastorm is from the US.

    Can anyone please help me to solve this matter?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,

    JohnPD.

    Hereby an example:
    Number1 Number2
    4598085 4598085

    From both columns, the length of the data is 7, but the first one is 8 according to the len() formula

    For this reason, the formula where Number 1 <> Number 2 shows 1 record, but it's actually the same so it should show 0.

    I hope this is a workable example ThomasT.

    Cheers

    I only get 7 on both occasions.
    Have you tried strLen() function?

    While displaying that data in the BRDviewer, select the two cells, and press CTRL-X
    Then paste that result here.

    It will help us see more about the data.
