For whatever reason, I cannot add text to a formula, even using the same formula I have running in other bases. Basically, I want the formula to return to values with a hyphen or colon between the two. I have two variables, Color (single-line text) and Brand (single select), and I want it to return like “Color - Brand” or Color: Brand.” I have tried the following formulas:
Color & “ - “ & Brand
Color & ‘ - ‘ & Brand
Concatenate(Color, " - " , Brand)
Concatenate(Color, ’ - ’ , Brand"
Each of these returns an error for an invalid formula. And, as I said, I have another base with an effectively identical formula and it works with no problems.
Further, I have tried moving the hyphen elsewhere and I’ve tried using different characters, none of which works. For example, if I just try to add a random word to the end of the formula, like the one below, I get the same error:
Color & Brand & “randomword”
Concatenate(Color, Brand, “randomword”)
These, too, return the same error. It’s like any string I include in the formula returns an error. I have to be doing something wrong, I just can’t figure out what that is.
