Formatting Help

[denileigh]

I have the following field:

=LEFT((T3)&"000",3)

It returns B00 or AL0, etc. depending on the value of T3. However, I
need it to take the value of T3 (ie: A, BL, R, etc) and make it take 3
spaces without the zeros?

Does that make sense? Something like,

AL(space) or B(space)(space) or if empty (space)(space)(space). This
is then put into a join string.

I can't seem to find a way to do this. Any ideas?

Thanks!
