Crystal Reports string to eliminate the leading zeros

Question

Does anyone have a revised Crystal Reports string to eliminate the leading zeros on an invoice and or purchase order?

I actually figured it out a week ago to create a new formula. 
 the tonumber command left a decimal place after the number so I used this formula: 
 if NumericText({X}) then ToText(ToNumber({X}),0,"") else {X} 
 and replaced {X} with the number I wished to change. 
 The problem I had was I tried to change the existing formula using this which did not work. 
 after watching a YouTube video I figured out to add a formula instead of changing the existing one. 
 If anyone wants a more detailed way to do this just ask.

Hello, 
 Try this. For an invoice the field that holds the invoice number is SALES_HISTORY_HEADER.NUMBER, and for the purchase order the field is PURCHASE_ORDER_HEADR.NUMBER. 
 Create a formula in the invoice and purchase order. 
 The Invoice number formula will be: tonumber({SALES_HISTORY_HEADER.NUMBER}) 
 The Purchase Order number formula will be: tonumber({PURCHASE_ORDER_HEADR.NUMBER}) 
 Place the formula on the report. 
 Right-click the formula and click Format Field. In the Number tab, click Customize near the bottom. Change Decimals to 1 and remove the checkmark for Thousands Separator. Click OK. Click OK again to save the formatting properties. Save your form.
