WD: How to Use a Conditional Field to Specify a Number of Digits

MORE INFORMATION

Use a numeric picture switch (\#) to specify the number of digits for the result. For example, if your number is to contain five digits, use the following numeric picture switches within the conditional formula:

   \# 0000#
   \# 000##
   \# 00###
   \# 0####
				

Create the following conditional {IF} field:

{if { MERGEFIELD number } > "9" { if { MERGEFIELD number } > "99" { if {MERGEFIELD number } > "999" { if { MERGEFIELD number } > "9999" { MERGEFIELD number } { MERGEFIELD number \# 0#### }}{ MERGEFIELD number \# 00### }}{ MERGEFIELD number \# 000## }}{MERGEFIELD number \# 0000# }}
