Diesel Field Expression

[DDJL]

By changing the numbers at the end first Diesel code of I can pass a part of the layout name to a field for a sheet number.

 

 

$(substr,$(getvar,ctab),$(-,$(strlen,$(getvar,ctab)),0),1)

 

 

By naming a layout tab "1" or "2" I can use the second Diesel code to select between two different addresses and pass one or the other to an address field.

 

 

$(if,$(eq,$(getvar,ctab),1),"building 1",$(if,$(eq,$(getvar,ctab),2),"building 2"))

 

 

Is it possible to combine the first Diesel code with the second Diesel code so that I can use the first part of ONE layout tab to select a sheet number field, and the end part of the SAME layout tab would act as a pointer to select an address?

 

 

For example if the layout tab text was "A-1 1"

then the sheet number would be "A-1"

and the address field would be "building 1".

Yes, here is a drawing with an example of only the fields.
