Hello,
I am trying to extract Characters (Major) from a Field (Acadmic Program)
Example Below is Acadmic_Program that has Major and Degree. I am tryint to create a computed column in SAS enterprise Guide
to extract the Majors.
ENGL.AA
MATH.AS
PSY.AAS
For no i used Substring function (SUBSTR(t1.ACAD_PROGRAM,1,4) but it extracts first 4 characters and gives following output
ENGL
MATH
PSY.
How do i elimate the Period. I tried find function like in excel but it doesnt seem to work the same way
My output should be
ENGL
MATH
PSY
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Yes, you can use that function in EG.
The method is to use the query builder, and create a new advanced expression. You can then put the function into the expression.
Thank you. It worked
