Hi @Jalvear
Step 1: ‘Math Formula’ node
$number$ + 100
Step 2: ‘Number to String’ node
Step 3: ‘String Manipulation’ node
substr($number$, 1)

Hi @Jalvear

Could you please precise whether your column is originally in string format or in numerical (integer, long, etc.) ?

@gonhaddock when looking at your solution (which btw is a nice trick ;-)) I wonder whether @Jalvear numbers go beyond 99 value :thinking:

Good touch @aworker !
You can just add 1 000, 10 000 … depending on the length of your string.

PS.- we can describe it as ‘adding zeros to the left’
