If not 10 digits, leave as is, it will fail validation.
Otherwise it removes formatting, leading and trailing spaces and returns,
It puts the number in a 2,4,4 format for landline numbers or 4,3,3 format for mobile numbers.
Starting with 04 or 05 = mobile, rest are landline.

| /* Same result and "PhNumber" field must be text!!! */ Let ( [ Self = Filter ( PhNumber ; "1234567890" ) ] ; If ( Length ( Self ) <> 10 ; Self ; If ( Left ( Self ; 2 ) = "04" or Left ( Self ; 2 ) = "05" ; Left ( Self ; 4 ) & " " & Middle ( Self ; 5 ; 3 ) & " " & Right ( Self ; 3 ) ; Left ( Self ; 2 ) & " " & Middle ( Self ; 3 ; 4 ) & " " & Right ( Self ; 4 ) ) ) ) |

| how can i code the following in Custom Function if you can write it for me theta = lon2 - lon1 dist = acos(sin(lat1) × sin(lat2) + cos(lat1) × cos(lat2) × cos(theta)) if (dist < 0) dist = dist + pi dist = dist × 6371.2 |

| Hi Phil, Loved your function. Have added a little code to cope with 8 digit numbers without the area code. Thought it might be of use. Cheers, Richard. Let ( [ Self = Filter ( PhNumber ; "1234567890" ) ] ; If ( Length ( Self ) ≠10 ; If (Length ( Self) ≠8 ; Self; Left ( Self ; 4 ) & " " & Right ( Self ; 4 )) ; If ( Left ( Self ; 2 ) = "04" or Left ( Self ; 2 ) = "05" ; Left ( Self ; 4 ) & " " & Middle ( Self ; 5 ; 3 ) & " " & Right ( Self ; 3 ) ; Left ( Self ; 2 ) & " " & Middle ( Self ; 3 ; 4 ) & " " & Right ( Self ; 4 ) ) ) ) |
