For a Netsuite account, I have noticed the entityid for a customer (the customer ID on the UI) appears as an alphanumeric value using the organisation's customer number format.
However, in a saved search, it appears in the following format,'ACC12345 Parent entity name: ACC67895 Child entity name'. I am trying to use a formula to get the child entity's customer ID number from this text string.
The following formula mostly works in a saved search to extract the child entity's customer ID number (i.e. the 'ACC67895 ' in the above example
SUBSTR({entityid},INSTR({entityid},'ACC',1,2),8)
Is there a way to replace the 8 in this formula with another formula so that it extracts everything from the second 'ACC' onwards until the first blank ' '?
The number of characters of the customer ID varies so I don't want to use 8 as a hard coded value in the formula.
Thanks
I would suggest having your first SUBSTR return everything from the start of the child customer's ID to the end, then nest that inside a second SUBSTR which would use an INSTR to find the space after the ID and cut off everything after that:
SUBSTR(SUBSTR({entityid},INSTR({entityid},'ACC',1,2)),1,INSTR(SUBSTR({entityid},INSTR({entityid},'ACC',1,2)),' '))
Ugly, but it works.

I've added a formula(date/time) column to a saved search in NetSuite, to return a system notes' date.
My CASE formula is returning all the system notes row's, and I would like a specific row's date i.e. 'POP Host Int ID' date.
How can I specify the row to return the date from, or remove the rows with no date that are not relevant?
CASE
WHEN {systemnotes.field} = 'POP Host Int ID' AND {systemnotes.type} = 'Set'
THEN {systemnotes.date}
ELSE NULL
END
It appears that my WHEN logic works to identify the record's system notes do contain an entry for 'POP Host Int ID' but in THEN I'm not specifying which row to get the date from so it returns all rows. And I could be wrong on this part.

Example System Notes for 1 record
Thank you for your assistance.
The CASE statement doesn't determine which rows are returned, only what data is returned for that field. On the other hand, the reference to the systemnotes table creates a join that causes each record result to be repeated for every system note entry.
To avoid this, add {systemnotes.field} = 'POP Host Int ID' and {systemnotes.type} = 'Set' as Filters in the Criteria tab instead of in the WHEN conditions. You can then just add the field under results instead of needing a formula.
Edit in response to comment below:
In cases where you need one result per base record (user), but they don't all have valid values from the joined table (system notes), I'd suggest grouping the results by user, and using aggregation functions for all the columns. EG: For the column in question I'm assuming you are getting one valid result and a lot of blanks per user. If you group by user and set the Summarize function to MAX, you should just get one result where the valid value is returned. If no valid value exists from the system notes, you would still get a result from the user and that field will be blank.
If you are creating a saved search the place to do this is in the criteria section.
The views you've shared are for the System Notes pertaining to a single record.
For those views you could just use the Field selector in the Filters section to select your POP Host Ing ID field.
For a saved search you would use the Advanced view and scroll down the criteria field list. Near the bottom are the System Notes. You can filter on Field, Date etc
In NetSuite, I am setting up a new (currently untitled) saved search that is meant to display three columns simultaneously: Invoice document number, Sales Order document number and Item Fulfillment document number.
I have configured my transaction saved search to display invoice document type. Sales Order document number is called Created From which is a NetSuite-created field and displays normally as desired.
There is a field called Document Number, unfortunately it responds closely to the criteria setting whether document types are set to Invoice or set to Item Fulfillment. Setting both does not meet my desired output.
I believe there is a way to somehow have all three document numbers present in the same saved search as their own unique columns.
While editing the saved search, I have attempted to create a new column called "Formula (text)" which is a field containing the formula {number}, this column appears as a second Invoice document number instead of the desired Item Fulfillment document number.
While editing the saved search, I have also tried another "Formula (text)" field containing the formula {tranid} which also results as another Invoice document number column instead of the desired Item Fulfillment document number.
Result of both above attempts: https://i.ibb.co/KyDP7Z5/2019-06-12-13-55-58-Window.png
I tried going to Customization > Lists, Records & Fields > Transaction Line Fields to create a new custom field, containing the above as defaulted formulas. The result is exactly that of the above image.
I tried going to Customization > Lists, Records & Fields > Transaction Body Fields to create a new custom field, where the content is referenced by another Saved Search. I expected that if I can pick the document number column from the "item fulfillment lookup" saved search, then that would appear as a separate column bearing the Item Fulfillment number.
I marked the document number column inside the "item fulfillment lookup" saved search as the summary type: "group" as well as give this saved search "Document Number" as an available filter in order for the "item fulfillment lookup" saved search to appear for custom columns.
Unfortunately, this yielded an empty blank column.
I know and I admit that I am doing something incorrect and would much appreciate it if there is an alternative solution or workaround to achieve this desired objective (all three document numbers to appear in a single saved search).
In your saved search Columns, at the end of the drop down list where you choose the columns, you can choose related records fields.
You didn't say which record your search is based on, but assuming your search criteria is on Sales Order, then you can use the following:
To get the related Item Fulfillment:
Fulfilling/Receiving Transaction Fields ... and then choose Document Number
To get the related Invoice:
Applying Transaction fields ... and then choose Document Number
I have a form that submits parameters to a query, then opens the resulting record in another form. The problem is, whenever there is more than one record it automatically puts the first one into the from without any kind of option to choose the record I want. I have a macro set up on the search button on the first form that submits the parameters to the query and then displays it in the second form, I've tried to set up another macro in between the two, but I don't know if it's possible to set up the expression creator to check the number of rows resulting from a query. Is it possible to modify the query to create a prompt to choose which record I want? Or should I change something else?
This is the query:(automatically created by access)
SELECT CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME, CHILD.CHILD_F_NAME, CHILD.DOB, CHILD.GENDER, CHILD.DAYS_IN_CARE,
CHILD.HOURS_PER_DAY, CHILD.ENROLLMENT_DATE, CHILD.CHILD_ADDRESS, CHILD.CHILD_CITY,
CHILD.CHILD_ZIP, CHILD.CHILD_STATE, CHILD.CLASSROOM, CHILD.SNACK, CHILD.LAST_UPDATED, CHILD.CIN
FROM CHILD
WHERE (((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]) AND
((CHILD.CHILD_F_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![F_NAME])) OR
(((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]) AND
((CHILD.DOB)=[Forms]![Search]![DOB])) OR
(((CHILD.DOB)=[Forms]![Search]![DOB])) OR
(((CHILD.CHILD_L_NAME)=[Forms]![Search]![L_NAME]));
If I understood well your problem and you use VBA it's quite easy to do.
You can create a reduced query based on the query you're creating with the button. This new query should include all and only the fields that allows you to discriminate beetwen the records to show in the 2nd form.
For instance it could include LastName, FirstName and classroom to select between children with same full name.
You can count the number of records of this 2nd query and if greater than 1 it means that you have more than one children to show.
So you can use this 2nd query to populate a combo-box or a listbox for selecting the record you really want to show.
When number of records is 1 you can simply skip the listbox population using an if statement on recordcount.
Next step is opening the form with the selected (or unique) record.

Hoping someone can help me out with a NetSuite question, and I apologize in advance if i’m misusing some lingo.
I am creating a item based saved search and one of my formula (text) result fields can have multiple true values when I apply my case formula. I’m look to combine all the true results of this formula into one comma separated string, instead of a new item row for each true value.
sku contact type
123 John S Owner
123 Jane S Clerk
123 Jack S Clerk
Formula (text) - Custom Label Field Name = Contact Name
Case when {type} = ‘Clerk’ then {contact} end
Currently my results generate a item (sku) row for each case of clerk:
Sku Contact Name
123 Jane S
123 Jack S
I’m looking for my results to be a single string
Sku Contact Name
123 Jane S, Jack S
I know the case function noted above will not string the results by itself; I originally intended to use the group by and max summary types, but I only get one Contact Name result.
Any solutions or work arounds?
Thanks
There are certain grouping functionality available for saved search results, but I don't think what you are trying to do is possible.
If you group your results by Sku, you will get one line per Sku but concenating the contact names from different line results I don't think is possible.
In your SaveSearch's Filter look for mainline and try to set either true(Yes) Or false(No).
There is an undocumented Netsuite function NS_CONCAT() (similar to Oracle's undocumented WM_CONCAT()) that does exactly this. You would group your results by the SKU column, and add formula field with the formula NS_CONCAT({contact}) and the summary type set to Minimum or Maximum.
According to some Netsuite employees on the Netsuite User Group, the LISTAGG function should also work now, and offers more flexibility (if you wanted a delimiter other than a comma for example).

Its Working perfectly...But i have small issues.. when i enter in text box like c,c++,4-5 yrs it have to check in database like either c,c++ skills and 4-5 yrs experiecne and then the reult has to be shown... Burt as per ur query it just show results whether any one of keyword satisfy database ...I want to compare year also how? –
If you want that behavior, you have to program that behavior. One design is to have multiple input boxes: one where you check if any of the words exist, another where you check that all of the words exist. (Perhaps even another for an exact phrase match.) Another design possibility would be for you to develop a syntax to indicate optional and required words all within a single input box. The point is it is up to you.
After you've decided on a design, then you could write code that builds your query based on or matches on the optional words and and matches on the required. Something like this pseudocode
Select * From Table Where
(Field Like OptionalWord1 Or Field Like OptionalWord2 Or Field Like OptionalWord3)
And Field Like RequiredWord1
And Field Like RequiredWord2
(etc.)
