Hi all,
Thank you for taking your time to look at my question.
i making a sharepoint list that have firstname, lastname, DisplayName, emailaddress etc.

I have done using Concatenate firstname and lastname to do for display name.

How can i have it auto fill with either Displayname or First Name & Last Name, and without spacing in each word.
For example.
First Name : Peter John
Last Name : Leong
Display name : Peter John Leong

Email address : peterjohn.leong@emaildomain.com

Thank you

For first name from display name

First(Split(DisplayName," ")).Result

For last name
Last(Split(DisplayName," ")).Result

Probably a more elegant way but it works for two names and three names.

With( { wNumberOfNames:CountRows(Split(Label2.Text," ")) }, If( Mod(wNumberOfNames,2) = 0, Concat(Split(Label2.Text," "),Result,"."), Replace( Concat(Split(Label2.Text," "),Result,"."), Find( ".", Concat(Split(Label2.Text," "),Result,".") ),1,"" ) ) ) & "@domain.com"

Peter John Leong will become PeterJohn.Leong@domain.com

Peter Leong will become Peter.Leong@domain.com

This solution is only for display name with up to three names

Hi @WeiMingLeong,

Do you want to auto fill email address based on first name and last name?

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario?

Not sure where you operate this action, in a Form? I just assume that you want to auto fill the EmailAddress field based on the first name and last name.

Set the Text Input Default property or Label Text property as below:

Concatenate( Concat( Split( Label6.Text,// Here displays the first name " " ), Result, "" ), ".", Label7.Text,// Here displays the last name "@emaildomain.com" )

Note that you could replace the Label name with your real text control name.
