Removing digits from a number in a Sharepoint List
I have a sharepoint list with a column called "Cust Po Line#". When data is imported into the cells of this row the source data shows the data as 100000000, 200000000....1000000000, etc. I need to remove 8 zeros from the end of every number. Can this be accomplished in sharepoint. So, end result would be 100000000 would be 1 and 1000000000 would be 10.

=[Cust Po Line#]/100000000
Column settings:

Kaptain_1959 How you are importing data in list rows/cells? There are multiple ways to remove zeros from the end of number like using Power automate flow or PowerShell or calculated columns, etc.

- Kaptain_1959Copper ContributorThe data is imported from a CSV file that is downloaded from our Sage accounting software. The currents sharepoint list has hundreds of entries so my first thought is to use a calculated column in the sharepoint list. I know how to accomplish this in excel.
