How Do I Display a Field with a Fixed Number of Characters in Crystal Reports?

A client recently asked me "How do I display a field with a fixed number of characters, using leading zeros, in Crystal Reports XI?"

The client needed to display a the contents of the field to always show 10 characters regardless, of how many characters the data had.

For example:

If the field had the value 10111, the formula would display it as 0000010111.


Solution:

Create the formula:

Right('0000000000' & {tablename.fieldname},10)
