    Hello all, frustrated one here. What am I doing wront? Trying to CONCAT a couple of fields.

    I am using a CALCULATED field, result value is Text
    I have tried to CONCAT two numerics which works fine.
    I tried to CONCAT two text fields works fine.
    BUT in either case if I try to put a literal like ” ” (a space) or ” of ” (a word) between the fields I get nothing as output.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Hi Bernie,

    Just use the + operator to concatenate them.

    For example:

    First Name + " " + Last Name

    Make sure you use straight quotes also and not curly quotes.

    Ok thanks Brendan. By ‘straight quote’ I guess you mean the quote on the symbol line in the Calculation Formula correct? Not the ” in the ‘abc’ keyboard, correct?

    I never kew there was a difference. thanks.

    The text editor tend to translate " " into something like ” “. It is only something to watch out for when copying text.

    You can also hold down on the double-quote character on the iOS keyboard and you’ll see the variations. Pick the straight one.
