Formatted SSN in reports

Post by lukek »

Hello All,

I've searched the forum and didn't see an answer to this question. Is there a way to make a custom field in reports that will format the SSN appropriatly? (i.e. - 111-22-3333)?

I am using Pay Stub Reports and the Deductions by Employee template. I am setting up the file to send to the company that handles our 457 retirement plan. They require the report have formatted SSN's (with the dashes). I thought I could create a custom column and fenagle a formula to do this, but I'm stuck.

Using 12.6.5 - Professional Edition. I figured it out though. If you add a custom column to the report, set the formula to pre-group, set format to String. You'll use the following formula: string_concat('-', (string_substring(#sin#, 0,3)), string_concat('-',(string_substring(#sin#, 3,2)), (string_substring(#sin#, 5,4))))
