    Thanks Angelia,

     

    That fixed the calculated column however when i try to sort the 'taskname' column by it i get the following error

    "This column cant be sorted by a column that is already sorted, directly or indirectly by this column"

    ID2 Set Trap

    ID3 Drop Anvil

    ID4 Chug a beer

    Thanks anyway for your efforts

     

    Kind regards

    Alex
