Hi all,
I am trying to get a person's initials from a middle name column to put into a full name column. I already have their first and last names in the full name column, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the first initial of their middle name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi @ChattyLinkin ,
Where are you trying to do this? Is it in a calculated column in Dataverse, Power FX formula Dataverse column, Power Automate flow, Power App?
Yes, my full name column in my dataverse table is a calculated column
Don't think that is supported within a calculated column, have you tried to utilize formula column to do something like this?
That works for full name, but if I only wanted the first letter of the middle name how would I go about that? Thanks!
ahh, sorry about that, here you go:
Concatenate('First Name',If(Len('Middle Name')>0," ",""),Left('Middle Name',1),If(Len('Last Name')>0," ",""),'Last Name')
Thank you!
