Change the type (output) of formula field

[Sergey_Gladyshe]

Hi, have a quick question: can I cange the output type of the formula fieldd?

Example: I have a column with e-mail (column type is e-mail), I want to create another column where I would take e-mail string and convert it into Barcode type. I use the formula to take the data from first column but then it has the same type. If I then convert to Barcode, the formula is not working anymore and all new lines are not filled in.

So, I’m looking if there is a way use both formula and type changing.
Thanks!

Hello @Sergey_Gladyshev!

If I then convert to Barcode, the formula is not working anymore and all new lines are not filled in.

For the barcode type specifically, this Community post should be able to help with converting an existing field into a barcode. For more general information on formatting the formula field you can check out this support article.

Let me know if I can help provide any more information, and if this helped answer your question please mark it as the solution :white_check_mark: .
