Text String Missing Characters

Hi,

 

I have created a custom column to retrieve cells from another column that has more than 2 characters.

 

However the function is cutting the text string short. I have read up and the character limit is well beyond the character count I am trying to display.

 

IF(LEN('Forms Pro Question Responses'[Name])>2 ,'Forms Pro Question Responses'[Name],BLANK())
 
The text in the original Name column is displaying all characters.
 
Any suggestions greatly appreciated 😄

I figured it out as I went to look for an example -_-. There are 2 columns from the data source and one has trimmed text

Hi @Anonymous 

This formula is working fine for me.

Please check if you have your reference column('Forms Pro Question Responses'[Name]) is Text.
