I created a SharePoint list for a customer to enter the staff details of a marketing department. The owner of the site wanted to add the first and last name. I thought it would be easy to automatically fill a column with the full name, based at first and last name. This is actually really easy! Just create a new calculated column and use one of the following formulas:
Carlos
|
Carvallo
|
=[Column1]&[Column2]
|
Combines the two strings (CarlosCarvallo)
|
Carlos
|
Carvallo
|
=[Column1]&” “&[Column2]
|
Combines the two strings, separated by a space (Carlos Carvallo)
|
Carlos
|
Carvallo
|
=[Column2]&”, “&[Column1]
|
Combines the two strings, separated by a comma and a space (Carvallo, Carlos)
|
Carlos
|
Carvallo
|
=CONCATENATE[Column2], “,”, [Column1])
|
Combines the two strings, separated by a comma (Carvallo,Carlos)
|
