Transform Syntax in Workbench 4.5
I'm not an SQL expression expert but I feel like I shouldn't be having this much difficulty creating a transform in the calculation builder of Workbench. (I'm very proficient with Beast Mode syntax, but I realize this is different)
I want to take a string (type) column and only use the first 6 characters from the data.
Attempting to use the MID function and the example, I have tried:
MID(`Pkg_Reference_1`,1,6) and various variations.
I've even tried testing syntax with more basic SUM or formating functions and every time I get the failure reason of "unexpected identifier at character 6". The character number will vary but is always the ` (backtick) character that starts out the column name.
I am either failing misearably at understanding the syntax required or there is an issue with tranforms in WB 4.5 that is causing them all to fail, because I can't get a single one to work.
Any guidance please...

You probably just need to drop the backticks. Even though Beast Mode uses them they aren't necessary in WB transforms.Aaron

Try:
TRIM(SUBSTR(t5.ADDR_ZIP,0,5))
Where 0 is the start and 5 is the stop for extracting your string.0
