Hello community,
what do I wrong? 🙂
I have a field with #Numbers f.e. 80 or 80,1
In another field I try to format this field to a url format, that means I would like to replace the , with an -.
For this I use the Substitute formula:
Formatting doesn't change the contents, only the way the contents are displayed. You are getting an error because you are using a text formula on a number. If you try SUBSTITUTE({Numbers&""}, ",", "-") I believe it will work. (You are casting the number field to a text value.)

Hi BillH,
Thank you for your tip. It was almost right, your formula is just not quite correct. The characters & "" must be outside the {} in this case. So like here: SUBSTITUTE({Numbers} &"",",", "-")
Now it works for me too and I no longer get Error! Thanks again!
Sorry for the typo, I wasn't paying attention during my cutting and pasting lessons.
Glad it worked eventually.

Sorry, suggested formula should be SUBSTITUTE({Numbers}&"", ",", "-")
