Removing Leading Zeros

[intapiuser]

Question:

What is the best way to remove leading zeros?  I have a field that is alphanumeric values (JONESBJ001, SMITH KC02, 0000012345, 0000555213.

Solution:

If all of your data with leading zeros will always be some sort of numerical string (ie there will not be values like 000{character}) you could create a custom column using the following expression in an Elasticube:

CASE 
WHEN Left([Values],1) = '0' THEN ToString(ToInt([Values]))
ELSE [Values]
END
