Question

Possible to set the value of a calcualted column to data from another list? Say I have a lookup column, and based on my selection, another column from that lookup list?

Also, Does the calculated column offer String Contains or begins with operators?

And, side question, Can either of the above be done inside workflow Alert email conditons?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Does the calculated column offer
String Contains or begins with
operators?

For contains/begins you can use either SEARCH (case insensitive and allows wildcards) or FIND (case sensitive)

So for example “Begins With” looking for “First words” in field [Field] would be

IF ( FIND("First words",[Field]) == 1, True, False)
