Question

I have column with values like this:

$30K - $50K

How to extract lower limit? Is it possible do it in SQL query without writing own function?

Answer 1

it is possible ..

if you want to extract only lower limit value then you can use following query while selecting columns from your table —

 Mid(<your field name >,2,Instr (<your field name >, "K")-1)

else if you want to select with special character then you can use following statement –

 Mid(<your field name >,1,Instr (<your field name >, "K"))

please try it.. I don’t have MS-access in my machine else I would have tested this before posting ..
