How to go back to to Custom Column Formula from the Add Conditional Column window?

If I type in a simple if statement into a custom column formula window and press ok, sometimes it will then default to the Add Conditional Column window when I re-open it. I want to add some conditions to my forumla and I can't go back to typing in custom text. Does anyone know how I return to the original window?

You can either replace the null by _ or put one column refrences in quotes "[Response]": that will bring back the old editor where you can revert these changes and continue editing.

@ImkeF -- any idea why this works?


I’m usually answering from my phone, which means the results are visualized only in my mind. You’ll need to use my answer to know that it works—but it will work!!

The _ will return a record, which cannot be displayed in the structured editor.
the quotes around the column references make it a text field and the structured editor is only supposed to have a proper column reference as the first argument.
