I amusing CR v11 and have a field within a table that I need to replace the last 3 (or 4 when there is a 4th) digits with something different.
 
Example:
 
The field within the table has a number such as 12345678901C  or 12345678901CR.
 
I need to create a formula that will replace the  01C and/or the 01CR with *01
 
I think it's simple, but can't figure this one out.
 
Thanks in advance

I am assuming that the length of the data is fixed (12 or 13 characters long).  If not you will need a slightly different a approach.

left({field},9)+"*"+mid({field},10,2)
