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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
