Its a common need to have a mask functionality so that not all of a fields value is displayed. Commonly, this is used to show only the last 4 digits of Social Security Number

Is there any way to do this in BIRT.

I tried the custom format codes, but it doesnt want to obscure portions of the data value.

OK. I figured this out.
There are probably a bunch of ways to do this.
The easiest one I used was a CalcField (ComputedColumn)

DataType string
Expression "XXX-XX-"+row["SSN"].substring(5,9)
