Hi. I have a very basic password system that uses letters to denote numbers. The numbers come from a client's DOB.

I have a date (DOB) field and another field using DATETIME_FORMAT to only show the numbers (DDMMYY). That's all fine.

I would like to have a new field that displays a particular letter for each number - to create a very simple password. Lets say: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, 4=d, 5=e, 6=f, 7=g, 8=h, 9=i, 0=j

Is there a formula that would do this please?
