&lt;br /&gt;
I was wondering if someone knew how to create a calculated field that is base-36?
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Basically im trying to update our asset lists. 
&lt;br /&gt;
because we use Dell laptop we keep a close eye on the service tags, to put it short. 
&lt;br /&gt;We have one field ( dell_service_tag ) then we have another field (dell_express) both of these need to be filled in, however what we would like to do is do a calculated field (base-36) on the dell service tag. &lt;br /&gt;
in excel id use the following calculation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=IF(M130=&amp;quot;&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;0&amp;quot;,SUMPRODUCT(POWER(36,LEN(M130)-ROW(INDIRECT(&amp;quot;1:&amp;quot;&amp;amp;LEN(M130)))),(CODE(UPPER(MID(M130,ROW(INDIRECT(&amp;quot;1:&amp;quot;&amp;amp;LEN(M130))),1)))-48*(CODE(MID(M130,ROW(INDIRECT(&amp;quot;1:&amp;quot;&amp;amp;LEN(M130))),1))64))))
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where M130 would be the Dell_service_tag</description></item></channel></rss>
