I need the Title field to link back to the individual item (displayItem) in my SharePoint list. I have created a custom column with the following but it sees the [Id] as a string if within the quotes but outside the quotes if I use &[Id] it throws an error.
"https://[SharePointTenant]/sites/BusinessDev/Lists/BDPipeline/DispForm.aspx?ID=[Id]"
"https://[SharePointTenant]/sites/BusinessDev/Lists/BDPipeline/DispForm.aspx?ID="&[Id]
What else can be done? I don't see the field Link to Edit Item in Power Query or anything else I could use.
I have been struggling with this for two days. Any help is very much appreciated.
Hi @misty ,

Thank you. I cannot concatenate text and a number. When I try to change the Id field to text, it reverts back to a number.
@mwegener Thanks! I used the & concatenate in a custom column. The issue is that the Id field is a datatype number. When I switched it to text then went back to the Added Custom in Applied Steps it reverted to datatype number. I know that it does that just tired. I created a new custom column after the ChangedType2 with the following:
"https://[SharePointTenant]/sites/BusinessDev/Lists/BDPipeline/DispForm.aspx?ID="&[Id]
Works like a charm!
