Oracle EPM Cloud Data Management : How to define a Sub-String in Import format

 Requirement

        From a source dimension (Ex. Cost center), during the import to data load workbench, we need only the values starting from 5th position, and 6 characters from that. Rest all we need to ignore during import.

Example : CCWER500047TY - this is a cost center member
                    I need only 500047 to be imported to data load workbench

Solution

    In the import format use the expression shown below 

                        substr(UD2, 5, 6)
