Hi Forum,
I have a table of data that contains a Column of telephone numbers.
I want to filter out any records where the telephone number field has a number beginning with '04'.
So far I've added an Advanced Expression something like the below in SAS EG 4.3.
SUBSTR(TELEPHONE_NO, 1, 2) <> '04'
This doesn't work & changes all telephone nunmbers to a single digit, 0, 1 2 etc.
I'd prefer to add afilter in a Query Builder but there isn't an option to write the above expression...
Can anyone advise how this can be done?
Thanks
Not sure about EG 4.3 but in newer versions in the Query Builder you could select as filter operator "Does not match pattern" and as value '04%'
This will translate into SQL: TELEPHONE_NO NOT LIKE '04%'

Thanks Patrick !
I had tried that using just '04' but didn't think to include the %, DUH ...
