I tried to find out if a string field starts with a certain number. I tried with the .startsWith Method, but didn't get it to work.
var inactive = @Status
var noprog = '2'
var change = '4'
var lost = '9'
if (inactive.startsWith(noprog)) {1}
else if (inactive.startsWith(change)) {1}
else if (inactive.startsWith(lost)) {1}
else {0}
Result is: "TypeError: undefined is not a function"

Hi Dirk,
".startsWith()" was introduced with the JavaScript version ECMAScript 6, but Podio calc fields are using ECMAScript 5 - so this method isn't available in Podio (= undefined function).
But you can use .charAt(0) instead
inactive.chartAt(0) == noprog || inactive.chartAt(0) == change || inactive.chartAt(0) == lost ? 1 : 0;

Rainer - thank you very much! I had high hopes that you'd answer me. :D
