I have a table that I created to track resource allocation, and use that information to then report out to a graph in my interface to show based on the allocations, how much I would be expected to spend each month.
Hmm, I think I'd try:
1. Creating a formula field that outputs the list of months in the same format as the linked fields based on the values in the respective select fields
- e.g. "Jan - 24", "Feb - 24" is "Active"
- Output: "01 Jan - 24, 02 Feb - 24"
- e.g. "Jan - 24" is "Active", "Mar - 24" is "Active", Feb - 24" is "Inactive"
- Output: "01 Jan - 24, 03 Mar - 24"
2. Creating an automation that'll trigger when the formula field is updated and its action would be to paste the value from that formula field into the linked field
The formula field's formula would be something like:
IF(
{Jan - 24} = "Active",
"01 Jan - 24"
) &
IF(
{Feb - 24} = "Active",
"02 Feb - 24"
) etc etc
Works but seems clunky, and would love to hear alternative ways to solve this!
I changed the formula to include commas after the Month strings, and it's working perfectly! Thank you so much for your help. Posting the Formula change below

Ahh, nice one, sorry about that!
