Creating a new Formula field

hello everyone,

i have an issue creating a new formula field. this is the requirements:

In case License Number field is not empty, Short License Number (which is the formula's name) field will contain License Number's first left character.
For example: "License Number" = 987654321 "Short License Number" = 1.

would appreciate any help.

thank you.

Hi Grosman, hope you are doing good.

Use below formula it will work
IF( NOT( ISNULL( License_Number__c )) , RIGHT( TEXT(License_Number__c) , 1) , "")

Formula should be test data type
IF( NOT( ISNULL( License_Number__c )) , LEFT( TEXT(License_Number__c) , 1) , "")

Newly created formula field datatype should be text data type. Might be you selected number data type please change number data type to text
IF( NOT( ISNULL( License_Number__c )) , LEFT( TEXT(License_Number__c) , 1) , "")
